Publisher's Synopsis
Hétérogénie, Ou, Traité De La Génération Spontanée, by Félix-Archimède Pouchet, is a significant historical work detailing the author's research and theories on spontaneous generation. Published in 1859, this book presents Pouchet's arguments and experimental findings supporting the idea that living organisms can arise from non-living matter. This edition includes the subtitle "Basé Sur De Nouvelles Expériences," emphasizing the novel experiments upon which his treatise is based. While the theory of spontaneous generation has since been largely disproven by scientists like Pasteur, Pouchet's work remains an important contribution to the history of biology and provides valuable insight into 19th-century scientific thought.
