This is an extract from the NCERT Supplementary section and I cant understand it. PLEASE explain.
"Karl Ernst von Baer disapproved the Embryological support for evolution. He noted that embryos never pass through the adult stages of other animals"
Hello
- the more general characters of a large group appear earlier in the embryo than the more special characters.
- From the most general forms the less general are developed, and so on, until finally the most special arises.
- Every embryo of a given animal form, instead of passing through the other forms, rather becomes separated from them.
- Fundamentally, therefore, the embryo of a higher form never resembles any other form, but only its embryo.
