Domain-specific¶
- Dollo's Law
- Atavisms — the transient developmental re-expression of ancestral characters in individual organisms, such as hind-limb buds in cetaceans or extra digits in horses — demonstrate that some developmental machinery can persist in a latent, partially intact state for millions of years
This sourceDocuments atavisms such as extra digits in horses as evidence that the basic capacity and patterning information for an ancestral organ are retained, so structures can be revived as atavisms.

“Atavistic 2nd and 4th digits in horses arise by continued growth of their primordia.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
