: The most that can be said of embryology in support of Darwinim is that embryos in a given class tend to resemble one another in a given stage of development. Pharangula have been misinterpreted as "gill slits" by some mis-informed evolutionists, in vertebrates these structures go on to form various structures of the neck region in different species. "Recapitulation" is the term used to describe the [imagined?] process whereby evolution is recapitulated during ontology and has been discarded as a means of supporting evolutionary theory.

***Mammilian embryonic pharangula has no origin in the past related to other species/evolution? What is their purpose during that stage?
