Atavistic 

Having characteristics regressing to a more primitive type; resembling a distant ancestor. A evolutionary throwback.
The atavistic dew claw in many dog breeds is a simple example of a genetic throwback to an earler stage of dog evolution.

An atavistic example in humans is when babies are born with true tails.

Atavistic 

Acting like your ancestors, or just a really bloody good word for making your English teachers think that you're a God in English, and how to attract the hot women.
English GSCE: "Mr Hyde has an atavistic nature, acting on his gut instinct."
Pulling hot birds: "Hey babe that top looks highly atavistic ;)."
