About this book
Embryology, nutrition, and the origins of male and female development occupy Samuel Leopold Schenk in this scientific study, published in an English translation in 1898. His opening discussion moves from the earliest divisions of the ovum to observations drawn from rabbits, bees, and plants. Schenk considers whether conditions such as food and temperature might influence development, while reviewing earlier explanations and the use of birth statistics.
The book sets its author's proposals alongside findings and arguments attributed to other investigators. A later passage examines metabolism, maternal nutrition, twins, and possible experiments with fish breeding. Schenk's preface presents the work as an invitation to further observation and describes his wish to influence natural processes through investigation. Read as a historical scientific argument, it offers a close view of the questions, comparisons, and experimental reasoning through which he approaches embryology.
