- trhway 5y agothis is why i used "some". The full recapitulation theory is obviously not true. The embryo development is an algorithm which gets branched and pruned in parallel with evolution and without deep rewrite, and thus it contains very recognizable major phases of evolutionary path to the given point that embryo belongs to.
