I have read in some places, such as the talkorigins Website, that Evolutionists reject not only Haeckel's falsified drawings, but his entire recapitulation theory as well.
But I have read at other places that:
horse embryos have three toes, just like their ancestors.
bird embryos have claws where their wings later develop, just like their reptilian ancestors.
bird embryos grow through a phase in which their pelvic bones are like those of the Archaeopteryx.
all vertebrate embryos go through a phase in which they have a notochord in place of a backbone, just like our invertebrate ancestors.
whale embryos possess teeth, legs, and hair, just like their land-dwelling ancestors.
elephant embryos possess an extra pair of tusks, just like their Oligocene ancestors.
human embryos possess tails, just like our simian ancestors.
If this doesn't show that Haeckel was right, what DOES it show?
