Here’s a delightful diagram of maturing fetuses of various types.

We clearly have nothing in common.

Reminds me of.. Argh I can’t remember.
It was this theory back in the 1900s that our personal development echoed our evolutionary development.
Interestingly, it was the basis for the claim of adolescence.
Note that it really, really wasn’t true. At all.

Spencer, the theory is called “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” or simply the Recapitulation Theory, and there is a good reason this reminds you of it. This is am 1892 copy of a drawing by Ernst Haekel, the theory’s originator. The drawing is of highly questionable accuracy, which is why I find it’s wide circulation and use as evidence for Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection a bit distressing. I can just imagine creationists discovering this and trying to use it as “proof” that all Darwinists are liars and Satan worshipers.

To Greg:
Actually creationists have been using this as “proof” that evolutionists are liars and Satan worshipers. One of the more famous creationists spewing this lie is, of course, Kent Hovind.
