Do humans go through the stages of evolution in the womb? Does the human embryo begin as a fish with gills?
 
No, phylogenic recaptulation has long since been falsified.

Embryos do share some characteristics though, which develop into very different features in different species. A famous example are the pharyngeal arches, which develop into parts of the throat in humans, and into gills in fish.
 
I don't have much to add to this, but all I'll say is that you have a real thirst for knowledge Dave. It's good to see ;)
 
No, humans don't go through evolution in the womb. But our development is constrained by our evolutionary history. So parts that formed one thing in our ancestors are often changed to form other parts in us. For example, arches that formed gill slits make up jaws and parts of our middle ear.

That's how evolution works.
