recapitulation theory still withstanding test of time??
Do recapitulation theory is still a accepted theory that our entire evolutionary history is repeated during the embryo development?i am not a biologist though i am doing undergrad Engineering just studied this in junior high school and very captivated by this because (i am from India and i am not very religious) I keep hearing this from my grandmother(who is a devout Hindu and absolutely no knowledge of science) that human birth is achieved by the "soul" after so many birth as different kind of species viz. insect,cat,rabbit etc.I think that users who are from India might be aware of this.My question is how can this be?? so much similarity (though approximately).how come a "religion" can come even that close to Science??this just blows my mind off.Need desperately expert & Unbiased opinion on this issue thank you.
