Descent of Man 2nd Ed. p 161

'It has been known that in the vertebrate kingdom one sex bears rudiments of
various accessory parts appertaining to the reproductive system, which
properly belong to the opposite sex ....... Some remote progenitor of the
whole vertebrate kingdom appears to have been hermaphrodite and
androgynous.......But here we counter a singular difficulty. In the
mammalian class the males possess rudiments of a uterus with the adjacent
passages in the Vesiculae prostatica; they bear also rudiments of mammae,
ans some male marsupials have traces of a marsupial sac. Other analogous
facts could be added. Are we then to suppose that some extremely ancient
mammal continued androgynous after it had acquired the chief distinctions of
its class, and therefore after it had diverged from the lower classes of the
vertebrate kingdom? This seems very improbable , for we have to look to the
fishes, the lowest of all the classes, to find any still existent
androgynous forms'

if you put an embryo of six week old dog next to that of an eight year old
human you would hardly notice the differences.

Has an ape fossil ever been found older than the oldest human fossil?
