Foundations of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) were laid by K. von Baer, the author of the law of embryonic similarity in various animal species. Subsequent exploration of this problem was related to the proof of the relationship between the invertebrate and vertebrate animals (A.O. Kowalevsky). The next phase of evo-devo progress was the creation of the theory of phylembryogenesis (A.N. Severtsov) and the concept of integrity of the organism in onto- and phylogenesis (I.I. Schmalhausen). In the context of evo-devo, the idea of epigenetic regulation in ontogenesis is of great importance (C. Waddington). At the present stage of evo-devo development, associated with names of S. Gould, P. Alberch, K. McNamara, etc., the importance of heterochrony is explored, in particular, the molecular mechanisms of heterochrony formation (“heterochronic genes” and microRNAs).

进化发育生物学史

进化发育生物学 (evo-devo) 的基础由 K. von Baer 奠定，他是各种动物物种胚胎相似性定律的作者。这个问题的后续探索涉及到无脊椎动物和脊椎动物之间关系的证明（AO Kowalevsky）。evo-devo 进展的下一阶段是系统胚胎发生理论 (AN Severtsov) 和生物体在个体发育和系统发育中的完整性概念 (II Schmalhausen) 的创建。在 evo-devo 的背景下，个体发生中表观遗传调控的思想非常重要（C. Waddington）。在 evo-devo 发展的现阶段，与 S. Gould、P. Alberch、K. McNamara 等的名字相关联，探讨了异时性的重要性，特别是，
