Atavism: (def: Atavism) Atavism refers to Lombroso's theory that while
most individuals evolve, some devolve, becoming primitive or
"atavistic". These evolutionary
"throwbacks" are "born criminals," the most
violent criminals in society. Born criminals could be
identified through their atavistic stigmata. (For a good account of Lombroso's theories of
atavism, see Gould's The Mismeasure of Man,
pages 151-75.)
Jack London's thinking ( find: "atavism" ) as a great contextual example.
That which an age feels to be evil is usually an untimely afterecho of that which was formerly felt to be good - the atavism of an older ideal. - Nietzsche
