The Recapitulation Theory And Human Infancy

The Recapitulation Theory And Human Infancy by Percy E. Davidson is a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between the development of the human embryo and the evolution of the human species. The book draws on the theory of recapitulation, which suggests that the development of an organism mirrors the evolutionary history of its species. Davidson argues that this theory is particularly relevant to the study of human infancy, as this is a period of rapid development and change.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the theory of recapitulation and its relevance to the study of human development. The second part examines the development of the human embryo in detail, exploring how it reflects the evolutionary history of the human species. The third part focuses on human infancy, looking at how the developmental processes that occur during this period reflect the evolutionary history of the human species.Throughout the book, Davidson draws on a wide range of scientific research to support his arguments. He also provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate his points, making the book accessible to both experts and non-experts alike. Overall, The Recapitulation Theory And Human Infancy is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between human development and evolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
