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
