    Recapitulation was the idea that as an embryo developments, it goes through stages where it resembles the fully-formed adult version of other animals. Some believers in recapitulation denied evolution, others accepted it. Some of the ideas from recapitulation can still be found in textbooks today, but the theory is considered entirely false. Recapitulation was overturned by Karl Ernst von Baer and modern studies of embryological development.Support me on Patreon https://patreon.com/planetpeterson Support me on Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Eric-Peterson-532 Be sure to follow me on social media!

    How many kingdoms of life are there? Today, we say there are 7, but it also depends on who you ask. While telling the difference between a plant and an animal is relatively simple, the difference between an algae and a plant, or a bacteria and an archaea, is more difficult. There have been MANY revisions in our biological models of the kingdoms of life. This episode is the story of those revisions.

    In today's episode, I discuss transmutation, which is a now debunked scientific theory about how life evolves. Transmutation held to the idea that life does change, but the explanations for how and why were not based in reality. The most famous proponent of transmutation was Jean-Baptism Lamarck. Lamarck was the most famous "evolutionist" before Darwin. While Lamarckism is false, new discoveries about epigenetics are now causing a resurgence of Lamarckian ideas. Sort of.
