, early selective breeding choosing to breed certain animals/plants for their
preferred traits to benefit humans
William Harvey proposed epigenesis and contradicted
preformation
epigenesis concept that hypothesized that a fertilized human
egg undergoes development events that lead to
the formation of a human
preformation fertilized egg contains a tiny developed adult
homunculus tiny developed human
Schleiden and Schwann developed the cell theory
cell theory idea that all living things are composed of cells,
cells are the basic units of structure and function in
living things, and new cells are produced from
existing cells
spontaneous generation living things could spontaneously generate from
nonliving components
Charles Darwin wrote The Origin of Species and theorized natural
selection
natural selection more offspring were produced than what could be
supported from the environment
- leads to struggle for survival so offsprings would
only inherit the most desirable traits for their
certain environment to survive
