I have adopted this new term with considerable hesitation and doubt, and have only done so under the pressure of necessity. In no other way can I better convey my conviction that there is a traceable correspondence between all manifestations of decline in the individual and in the group to which the individual belongs, which may, like embryology, be used inductively in reasoning upon the probable affinities of animals. [A. Hyatt, paper on "Genetic Relations of Stephanoceras," read June 7, 1876, published in Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History, vol. xviii, 1877]
我在采用这个新术语时犹豫不决,充满怀疑,只有在迫不得已的情况下才选择使用。因为我相信,个体及其所属群体的所有衰退表现之间是可以追溯的联系,这种联系就像胚胎学一样,可以通过归纳推理来研究动物之间可能的亲缘关系。[A. Hyatt,在1876年6月7日发表的《斯特凡诺塞拉斯的遗传关系》论文中提到,发表于《波士顿自然历史学会会刊》,第十八卷,1877年。]
