Pareti, Germana (Author)
Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the dissemination of Ernst Haeckel’s recapitulation theory suffered a setback, partly as a consequence of Wilhelm Roux’s mechanistic embryology. At the same time, starting with the Entwickelungsgeschichte of Karl Ernst von Baer (1828), and later with Darwin’s theory, the concept of recapitulation had been the subject of non-univocal interpretations. From the point of view of embryologists, the idea of history in biology (conceived as history of development and no longer as natural history) concerned the ontogenetic process, and in particular cell lineages, more than phylogenesis. At the turn of twentieth century, the legacy of German research shifted to emerging American zoology. A large group of researchers, trained in the US universities and in the Marine Biological Laboratory of Woods Hole, achieved remarkable results by combining the chromosomal theory with the rediscovery of the principles of Mendelian genetics.
