Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny

Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny
Wall of Lombardy, New York

HWW and Best wishes



Regression was the idea that great trauma could cause you to regress to an earlier stage of development. It was an extension of the theory of recapitulation. This theory is best known for the phrase “Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny,” put simply,m many scientists thought that as the fetus develops in the womb, it changes from a single cell organism into a protomammal, then transforms into a simple primate. Next it becomes a complex primate. Finally turns into a human. Of course, we now know this isn’t remotely true, but it was widely believed similarly Freud described regression as a sort of ‘Involution,” or “a return to earlier phases of sexual life.” ~ Page 210

. . . .Many kinds of monkeys have a strong taste for tea, coffee, and spirituous liquors: they will also as I have myself seen, smoke tobacco with pleasure. Brehm asserts that the natives of north-eastern Africa catch the wild baboons by exposing vessels with strong beer, by which they are made drunk. He has seen some of these animals, which he kept in confinement, in this state; and he gives a laughable account of their behavior and strange grimaces. On the following morning they were very cross and dismal; they held their aching heads with both h ands, and wore a most pitiable expression: when beer or wine was offered them, they turned away with disgust, but relished the juice of lemons. An American money, an Ateles, after getting drunk on brandy, would never touch it again, and thus was wiser than many men. . . . ~ Page 7 (“The Descent of Man” - Author - Charles Darwin)
