A CHAT perspective built on the dialectic of individual and
collective, the person realizes cultural possibilities available to
any one else. From this perspective, children grow up in a different
material context, hearing different utterances in the context of
different situation. This would lead to the contention that ontogeny
does not recapitulate phylogeny, much in the same way that a present
day football game would not recapitulate the first football game ever
played or its precursor. (The referent of "football" can be taken the
British or American way).

Dan I. Slobin has an article, "From Ontogenesis to phylogenesis: what
can
child language tell us about language evolution?" that appears in IN
the
j. Langer, S.T. Parker edited volume, "BIology and Knowledge.
The questions he poses in the article are: Does linguistic ontogeny
recapitulate phylogeny?, Does linguistic diachrony recapitulate
ontogony?
OD children create grammatical forms?
good read but not a CHAT perspective but rather biologicaly based.
