Will an organism devolve [i.e reverse-evolution] ?
Dear student,
This can be explained on the basis of Dallo's law also known as Dollo's law of irreversibility. It is a hypothesis proposed by Louis Dollo, who was a French-born Belgian palaeontologist, According to this, evolution. is not reversible. This means none of the any evolutionary stage can be reversed back after a change. Thus, an organism is unable to return, even partially, to a previous stage which is already found in ancestors.
Regards.
