	abstract = {<p>A re-examination of evidence from comparative human and mammalian embryology which is normally classed under the general heading of {`}neoteny{'}. It is argued that the significance of these phenomena for an understanding of the course of animal evolution has been overlooked, primarily as a consequence of a priori assumptions about evolutionary history which a careful examination of the facts does not support but rather demand a re-examination of orthodox theory, in particular in relation to the supposed descent of humans from ape-like ancestors. There are considerable consequences for science, evolutionary theory and religious belief.</p>
