Embryological Evidence

 

  • Study of the developmental history of any individual plant or animal is convincing evidence in favor of the evolution theory. 
  • Every organism during its own development repeats the evolutionary history of its ancestors.
  • Ernst Haeckel provided for biogenetic law stating that ontogeny repeats phylogeny.
  • Ontogeny is the life history of an organism while phylogeny is the evolutionary history of the race of that organism.
  • We are familiar with the tadpole larva of the toad which resembles the fish-like ancestors of the class amphibia to which toad belongs. 
  • Even in chick and human embryos, there is a brief stage in which rudimentary and non-functional gill slits appear for a short time.
  • The occurrence of a fish-like stage with gill slits in the toad, chick, and mammalian embryos can only be explained on the ground that they have descended from a fish-like ancestral stock.
  • The adults of two species of animals may resemble each other very little, but their embryos may do so very strongly. For example, early stages of chick and rabbit are almost indistinguish­able, whereas the adults are easily distinguished from each other.
