	RECAPITULATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		"Recapitulation" (also called the "Biogenetic law") is the theory that, at different stages in your development as an embryo, you had the organs of your supposed evolutionary ancestors.
		This theory is not merely foolish; it is the result of an outright hoax, initially developed by *Ernst Haeckel in 1866.
		The evolutionary theory of "recapitulation" declares that human embryos have organs which are leftovers from evolutionary ancestors.

	Recapitulation theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The theory of recapitulation, also called the biogenetic law or ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, is a theory in biology which attempts to explain apparent similarities between humans and other animals.
		The fact that the literal form of recapitulation theory is rejected by modern biologists has sometimes been used as an argument against evolution by some creationists.
		Although Haeckel's specific form of recapitulation theory is now discredited among biologists, it did have a strong impact in social and educational theories of the late 19th century.

	The Origins Scoreboard - Theory Vs. The Facts
		There are many fulfilled predictions of this theory, but here are three: (1) the observation of gravitational deflection of the light of stars by our sun, (2) the gravitational red shift or spectral lines, and (3) the observation of time differences based on gravity.
		The biggest challenge to this theory is that life is so complex with many interdependent parts that it seems unreasonable to believe that it is the result of random chance mutations and natural selection.
		This theory is still in its infancy (in that it may even require new math) and it will be years before we start to confirm parts of it.

		Recapitulation does play a supporting role in some of the book’s sections of intercalation, but the overall scheme of the book is that of progression, not repetition.
		Recapitulation is at a loss to explain these differences among the seventh members of the three series.
		A comparison of the three main theories regarding the seals, trumpets, and bowls leads to the conclusion that the form of progression known as telescoping or dove-tailing is superior to recapitulation and to a combination of recapitulation and progression.

	SCIENTISTS SPEAK ABOUT RECAPITULATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		"Recapitulation" (also called the "biogenetic law" or "biogenic law") is the evolutionary theory that, at different stages in your embryonic development in your mother's womb, you had the organs of your forebears.
		"Biogenetic Law, or Recapitulation Theory, was considered by Darwin to be `second to none' as an evidence of evolution."—H.M. Morris, W.W. Boardman and R.F. Koontz, Science and Creation (1971), p.
		In this form the theory runs into so many difficulties it clearly cannot be true.

		Theories of development in education have thus been what are called "hierarchical integrative": that is, each later stage integrates the attainments of the earlier stage(s) in a higher, more sophisticated form.
		Recapitulation curricula came into conflict with the urgent social needs of the new mass schools of America and Europe to prepare the immigrants and indigenous working classes for new kinds of work in rapidly changing economies.
		The young child learning to talk is recapitulating an evolutionary achievement; the child learning to write and read recapitulates techniques invented a few thousand years ago; the student learning history recapitulates a way of making sense of experience whose development in the ancient eastern Mediterranean we can trace in some detail.

	What are the various theories on the atonement?
		In looking at the different views or theories of the atonement, we must never lose sight of the fact that any view that does not recognize the sinfulness of man and substitutionary aspect of the atonement is deficient at best and heretical at it’s worse.
		Clearly this is one of the most heretical of all these theories because of the fact that to believe this one must believe that Christ had a sin nature.
		This and the moral influence theory are similar in that they both deny that God’s justice actually requires payment for sin and that Christ’s death on the cross was that payment.

	AllRefer.com - recapitulation (Biology, General) - Encyclopedia
		recapitulation, theory, stated as the biogenetic law by E. Haeckel, that the embryological development of the individual repeats the stages in the evolutionary development of the species.
		For example, the beginnings of gill clefts appear in both humans and fish, but while they are elaborated and eventually function in the fish, in humans, except for the modified gill cleft that becomes the Eustachian tube, they disappear as the embryo develops.
		Though drastically modified and qualified since its proposal, the historical significance of this theory : "ontogenesis recapitulates phylogenesis" : is that with its appearance it lent support to the theory of evolution by seeming to corroborate it.

		Thus, the theory of recapitulation held that the individual child was pre-determined to pass through all three of the stages of the human race.
		That theory was commonly of the form "All species of life are subject to the transformation of development over time." The mechanism was thought to reside in the makeup of the animal (genes), to require some generations to complete, and to be unaffected by catastrophic events.
		Theory Y is in agreement with the claims of Lewin and Likert who argued in favor of participatory leadership.

	Evolution - A-Z - Recapitulation
		The theory of recapitulation - otherwise known as the Biogenetic Law or Haeckel's law - is easily stated: in a phrase, "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny".
		In other words, it is the partly or wholly erroneous theory that an individual, during its development, passes through a series of stages corresponding to its successive evolutionary ancestors.
		While recapitulation is false as a theory, it is often observed in the development of an organism.

	The Mind Spiral
		Recapitulation was, he says, the most important idea in science in the second half of the 19th century.
		Gould's book demonstrates that even though the biological use of recapitulation fell into disrepute early this century, it remains one of the great themes of evolutionary biology, and deserves to be revived today with the necessary correctives that have been developed in recent years.
		Because his book is a history of the idea of recapitulation, Gould roams far afield from his own special interest in biology to trace the impact of the idea in a variety of fields, some of which have proved disastrous and others are still alive and well today.

	Articles / Impact / The Heritage of the Recapitulation Theory - Institute for Creation Research
		Called by Haeckel the "biogenetic law, this idea was spread widely by his euphonious slogan, "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny," meaning that embryonic growth of the fetus in the womb rapidly recapitulates the entire evolutionary history of the species.
		One of the premier examples of this principle is the infamous "recapitulation theory," developed by such philosophers as Goette and Robert Chambers, and then popularized in Darwin's day by Ernst Haeckel, the German atheist.
		The most recent application of the recapitulation theory has been as a pseudo-scientific justification for the terrible holocaust of abortionism which has been sweeping the world in recent years.

		Recapitulation curricula came into conflict with the urgent social needs of the new mass schools of America and Europe to prepare the immigrants and indiginous working classes for new kinds of work in rapidly changing economies.
		Hierarchical integrative theories, that is, have difficulty dealing with capacities which seem to reach a peak in childhood and decline thereafter.
		So the answer to what is recapitulated and how does the recapitulationary mechanism work is not like either of the two classic answers given; education is not a process of acquiring privileged knowledge accumulated in our cultural history, nor is it the process of fulfilling to the limits of our potential some putative psychological process.

		When that theory is coupled with the general theory of evolution, many believe the explanation for our world and the existence of all life forms is adequately answered.
		Among the "science" taught by this man was a theory that the human fetus goes through all of the stages of evolution within the womb.
		On the other hand there is the theory that all the living forms in the world have arisen from a single source which itself came from an inorganic (non-living) form.

	Shamanism Contemporary Practice and Study
		One form or another of the core idea of the recapitulation is present in all the shamanic traditions.
		So my view of the recapitulation came to be that it represented a 'little death' for those who pursued it to its logical conclusions, if logic even really applies.
		Shamans see the recapitulation as a more natural means of dealing with it; stalk the memory, and take back your energy, letting it become just a memory, with no life, no power to invoke a response from the present.

		Rosenblatt's theory is of interest to philosophers of education because it draws heavily on epistemological constructs from pragmatic philosophy.
		Reader response theory is significant because it raises questions about the relative importance of the text and the reader in the formation of meaning, challenging the much revered tradition of privileging text over reader.
		Contemporary theories of education, in being concerned with social reconstruction, have failed society because they have rendered education to be snobbish, particularly in the view that education is only completed at the university.

	Recapitulation,
		While you may not remember the terms "recapitulation" or "biogenetic law" the chances are very good that you were introduced to the theory in either high school or college.
		Popularized by Ernst Haeckel just before the turn of the century, the recapitulation theory states that the human fetus passes through all of the evolutionary stages of development.
		It is when science, which is supposedly self-correcting, carefully examines and clearly disproves a theory and yet, almost a century later, you find the premise published as the scientific justification of controversial human endeavors, one must wonder what is going on.

	Embryology and Evolution
		Usually this concept is called recapitulation because the developing embryo is assumed to “summarize” or “epitomize” the entire history of its race.
		Recapitulation no longer could be any more than a hypothesis at best, and he wanted me to have nothing to do with it.
		An example of the many exceptions to the hypothesis of recapitulation is that in an evolution scheme the spinal cord is present before the brain, but in embryology the brain develops first.

	The Errors of the National Academy of Sciences Booklet - Harun Yahya
		Haeckel called this so-called theory of "recapitulation" the "biogenetic law," and summed it up in the famous phrase "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny." In his The Descent of Man, Darwin portrayed Haeckel's drawings as important evidence in support of his own theory.
		The recapitulation theory originated as a deduction from the evolution theory and as a deduction it still remains.
		The theory of recapitulation was not rejected by scientists because it began to conflict with new discoveries; rather, it was known right from the start that the theory conflicted with the evidence.

	David Novak :: About David - The Storytelling Actor
		In the field of Embryology, recapitulation theory suggests that “an organism passes through developmental stages resembling various stages in the phylogeny of its group; ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.”
		The birth of the child may be said to recapitulate the evolution of the species from sea to land.
		It is pretty much an obsolete theory in the Life Sciences, and actually may have been exploited to support racist and sexist views in the 19th century.

	Creation Explanation 7d
		Since a term for this alleged evolutionary process is "phylogeny," a slogan became popular in some circles: "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny." While such an expression may sound erudite and stick in the minds of college students, it does not necessarily correspond to the scientific evidence.
		The theory of embryonic recapitulation and the corresponding slogan were widely accepted for many years, in spite of the fact that from the beginning many scientists rejected it because of the large amount of evidence from embryology which contradicts it.
		The most famous evidence offered in the support of the theory was the presence of the so-called "gill pouches" in the embryos of fish, mammals, and human beings at a certain stage of development.

	The Predicament of Evolution
		But long before he died the rather meager facts of embryology, as then known, had given rise to what is usually called the "recapitulation theory," which in the hands of Ernst Haeckel and others rapidly became by all odds the most popular argument in favor of the evolution theory.
		This is the famous "recapitulation theory," which said that each of the higher animals repeats or recapitulates some or most of the stages that its long line of developing ancestors went through.
		Several of the ductless glands of the human body, such as the thyroid, the pineal, and the pituitary, were once pointed to by the evolutionists as useless relics or vestiges of man's inheritance from his animal ancestors.

		What used to be called the "recapitulation theory" has long been eliminated from scientific literature, but it is still being presented as a scientific reality by some evolutionist publications.
		The term "recapitulation" is a condensation of the dictum "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny," put forward by the evolutionary biologist Ernst Haeckel at the end of the nineteenth century.
		It is now known that the "gills" that supposedly appear in the early stages of the human embryo are in fact the initial phases of the middle-ear canal, parathyroid, and thymus.

		He saw the recapitulation as the essential factor in a dreamer's redefinition and redeployment of energy.
		He explained that recapitulating an event starts with one's mind arranging everything pertinent to what is being recapitulated.

	Recapitulation v Homology
		Recapitulation Theory (ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny) - States that stages in the evolution of the species are reproduced during the developmental stages of the individual (Chambers 1990).
		The date of this exchange is not specified, but Hovind does mention his "$10,000 Challenge" (as opposed to the now $250,000 Challenge) which puts the timeframe in the early 1990's.
		Hovind: Dr Richardson, in her opening comments, was giving the sciences that support Evolution and she said, "Developmental biology supports Evolution because of vestigial organs including gill slits and tails while the baby is in the mother's womb." So she is using ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny [Recapitulation Theory].

	CB701.1: Recapitulation theory
		The biogenetic law that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny (that is, that the embryological stages of a developing organism follow the organism's evolutionary history) is false, yet embryological stages are still claimed as evidence for evolution.
		Haeckel's biogenetic law was never part of Darwin's theory and was challenged even in his own lifetime.
		Haeckel himself did not necessarily advocate the strict form of recapitulation commonly attributed to him (Richardson and Keuck 2002).
