adjective:  relating to or characterized by reversion to something ancient or ancestral.
"I startled a large and handsome hare, who ran away from me in a zig-zagging panic — and with all those hawks around, so he should. I had an atavistic urge to chase him, but quickly came to my senses and realized I had no chance."
- Elizabeth Gilbert
