Concept information

Preferred term

recapitulation  

Definition(s)

  • The idea in evolutionary thinking that embryological development reflects an ordered evolutionary sequence is known as recapitulation. While this idea was somewhat embraced by Darwin, it had its origins long before Darwin's ideas of evolution surfaced (Gould, 1977).
