The analogistic tradition from Anaximander to Bonnet : The seeds of recapitulation in Greek science? ; Ontogeny and phylogeny in the conflict of "evolution" and epigenesist: the idyll of Charles Bonnet -- 3. Transcendental origins, 1793-1860 : Naturphilosophie: an expression of developmentalism ; Two leading recapitulationists among the naturphilosophen: Oken and Meckel : Oken's classification of animals by linear additions of organs ; J.F. Meckel's sober statement of the same principles. Serres and the French transcendentalists : Recapitulation and the theory of developmental arrests.

A clock model of heterochrony -- 8. The ecological and evolutionary significance of heterochrony : The argument from frequency : The importance of recapitulation ; The importance of heterochronic change: selected cases ; Frequency of paedomorphosis in the origin of higher taxa. A critique of the classical significance of heterochrony : The classical arguments ; Retrospective and immediate significance. Heterochrony, ecology, and life-history strategies ; The potential ease and rapidity of heterochronic change : The control of metamorphosis in insects ; Amphibian paedomorphosis and the thyroid gland -- 9. Progenesis and neoteny : Insect progenesis : Prothetely and metathetely ; Paedogenesis (parthenogenetic progenesis) in gall midges and beetles ; Progenesis in wingless, parthogenetic aphids ; Additional cases of progenesis with a similar ecological basis ; Neotenic solitary locusts: are they an exception to the rule?. Amphibian neoteny ; The ecological determinants of progenesis : Unstable environments ; Colonization ; Parasites ; Male dispersal ; Progenesis as an adaptive response to pressures for small size.
