Diverse multi-cellular animals originally evolved from a simple unicellular organism. Similarly, animal development generally proceeds from a single-celled zygote to a complex multi-cellular organism. This tendency has inspired scientists to propose a relationship between development and evolution so far (e.g., Haeckel's recapitulation theory and developmental hourglass model).
What are the general relationships, if any, between development and evolution?
