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.
