Kaspar Friedrich Wolff, often regarded as the father of embryology, stands as a monumental figure in biological history.
In 1759, Wolff published his groundbreaking work, "Theoria Generationis," challenging the widely held notion of preformationism.
Wolff's meticulous observations and experiments laid the foundation for understanding epigenesis, a concept that revolutionized embryological thinking.
Through his comprehensive studies of chick embryos, Wolff demonstrated that organisms develop progressively from a simple to a complex form rather than pre-existing in a miniaturized state.
