Inc. All Rights Reserved. Almost from the beginning, evolutionists have attempted to equate the process of evolution with the progressive development of the embryo. Still, evolutionists have long attempted to relate embryology to evolution, presumably in an effort to extrapolate the readily-observable process of embryonic development into the unobservable process of macroevolution.
Embryology continues to play a role in current evolutionary dogma.
Specifically, each embryo in the course of its development, is said to pass through a progression of abbreviated stages that resemble the main evolutionary stages of its presumed ancestors. Now the mother can finally claim the baby as her own, or at least one of her own species. Impressed by the general similarity among vertebrate embryos, Haeckel chose to ignore their differences. No buts or ifs can mitigate this fact. It is not even a tiny bit correct or correct in a different form.
