| 11. | The syndrome is characterized by decelerated maturation ( neoteny ), incomplete morphogenesis ( vestigia ) and atavisms.
|
| 12. | Its supporters may say what they like, but a North Atlantic military alliance is a Cold War atavism.
|
| 13. | One factor, however, seems clear; atavism is not in evidence so far as colour is concerned.
|
| 14. | This suggests that the atavism could recall something earlier than the emergence of hominoid apes about 25 million years ago.
|
| 15. | These blind cave fish are unwittingly helping scientists better understand one of the most fascinating phenomena in evolution : atavisms.
|
| 16. | Atavisms are supposedly vanished evolutionary traits that, from time to time, reappear in a plant or animal species.
|
| 17. | Atavism is a key term in Joseph Schumpeter's explanation of World War I in 20th century liberal Europe.
|
| 18. | Apart from mutations reactivating dormant genes, atavisms appear often during embryonic development and then disappear before birth, said Hall.
|
| 19. | In fact, cancer has been postulated to represents some sort of reversion to a more primitive phenotype an atavism.
|
| 20. | Biologists have observed many other mutations that they suggest fall into this class of atavisms, the reappearance of normally dormant traits.
