註釋Oscar Hertwig's 'The Biological Problem of To-day: Preformation Or Epigenesis?' dives deep into the eternal debate between preformation and epigenesis within the realm of biology. This scholarly work presents a thorough analysis of the theories, exploring the concept of preformationism where organisms are believed to develop from miniature versions of themselves and contrasting it with epigenesis, which proposes that development is a result of a series of progressive differentiation and growth. Hertwig's writing is both insightful and meticulously researched, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the two opposing theories in the context of 19th-century biological thought. His clear and structured arguments make the book a valuable resource for both students and experts in the field of biology. Through his in-depth exploration of preformationism and epigenesis, Hertwig challenges readers to critically examine key concepts in developmental biology and the philosophical implications of each theory, ultimately reshaping our understanding of the biological processes involved in the creation of life.
