explain recapitulation theory ??


Recapitulation theory also called the biogenetic law was postulation, by Ernst Haeckel in 1866. It states that ontogeny recapitulates phylogenyin i.e in developing from embryo to adult, animals go through stages resembling or representing successive stages in the evolution of their remote ancestors. In otherwords, the embryonic development of an individual organism (its ontogeny) follows the same path as the evolutionary history of its species (its phylogeny).
