If now these developmental processes do not depend on chance, but, on the contrary, are rooted in the nature of the animal cell itself, we have no reason for inferring from the recurrence of a similar segmentation-process, morula, blastula, and gastrula in all classes of the animal kingdom the common descent of all animals from one blastula-like or gastrula-like ancestral form.    From Wordnik.com.  [Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology] Reference
