Publisher's Synopsis
Un Problème De L'Ã(c)volution; La ThÃ(c)orie De La RÃ(c)capitulation Des Formes Ancestrales Au Cours Du DÃ(c)veloppement Embryonnaire (loi BiogÃ(c)nÃ(c)tique Fondamentale De Haeckel), published in 1908, explores the recapitulation theory of evolution, also known as Haeckel's biogenetic law. This work by Louis Marius Vialleton delves into the concept that an organism's development, or ontogeny, briefly replays its evolutionary development, or phylogeny. Vialleton provides a detailed examination of this controversial theory, which suggests that embryos of advanced species pass through stages resembling adult forms of their evolutionary ancestors.
This book offers insights into the historical understanding of evolutionary biology and developmental processes, appealing to those interested in the history of science, evolutionary theory, and the development of biological thought.
