Detailed explanation-1: -The recapitulation theory states that ontogeny, which is the developmental history of an organism from the zygote stage until it is ready for hatching or gestation, repeats phylogeny, which is the history of the evolution of the ancestors.
Detailed explanation-2: -The word “recapitulation” captures the idea that the ontogeny of the child reenacts the phylogeny of the human species. In other words, the development of the individual human being follows the evolutionary history of the entire human species.
Detailed explanation-3: -An embryo recapitulates the embryonic stages of its ancestors and not the evolutionary stages of its adults. The frog during its development passes through a fish-like tadpole stage which shows that it descended from a fishh-like ancestor.
