"reverting to type"

Posted by Patty on August 30, 2001

People sometimes use the expressions "now he is reveting to type" (he, she, ot it, actually). I have a feeling this may come originally from biology. Whether that is correct or not, what does it generally mean when people use it in more everyday conversation? Thanks. - Patty
