“It is not birth, marriage, or death, but gastrulation
which is the most important time in your life.”
Louis Wolpert

“Other researchers think that evolutionary transformations are best studied by the comparison of embryonic development and its underlying genetic causes. The conceptual justification for that approach is the claim that what is inherited from the parents and ancestors are not adult traits but rather developmental programs that regulate the development of adult traits.”
Olivier Rieppel, Turtles as Hopeful Monsters: Origins and Evolution
