'Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny' is narrated in which of the evidences for organic evolution?
A
Palaeontological evidence
B
Physiological evidence
C
Embryological evidence
D
Anatomical evidence
Solution
Ernst Haeckel $(1866)$ proposed recapitulation theory or biogenetic law which states that 'ontogeny' (development of the embryo) is recapitulation of phylogeny (the ancestral sequence). It is narrated in the embryological evidences for organic evolution, $e.g.,$ homology in early embryonic development of all multicellular organisms, resemblance among vertebrate embryos, etc.
