included in the early stages we relive ever so briefly all the ancient biological genetically inherited memes.

It's very poetic to think that evolution contains an archive of all past incarnations, but in truth embryo's undergo their own selection pressures. It is true that the next generation will be a slight modification of the current one, yet over greater time features are gained and lost. A feature like a gill was so important to vertibrates for so long that it will be tightly tucked into the genome, but many others served their purpose in the past and are now long gone. Any life cannot afford to keep genes that are not useful in the present.

And people are so astounded by the 'animalistic' things people can do! Too funny. People have to remember where they 'came from'. :)
