PHYLOGENY 5)
← Back
The evolutionary development of any species of plant or animal.
This term was introduced in 1874 by the german biologist HAECKEL (1834-1919) According to him, the individual construction of any living being retraces, at the successive stages of the embryonic development, the basic characteristics of the embryons of the species from which it evolved: In a (too) short synthesis, ontogeny repeats phylogeny.
