Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thorough analysis of life phenomena from a mechanistic viewpoint. It starts by examining mechanistic biology, the experimental and not the descriptive science which began with Lavoisier and Laplace. The book then moves to explore the problem of the activation of the egg, regarding it as a sole but crucial step for life to originate. The author explains the essential role of blocking the cortical layer of the egg to induce the development and utilize chemicals as an artificial means to induce the development, further delving into the nature of life and death. It then scrutinizes heredity and shares insights on how sex determination occurs. The book delves into the harmonious character of organisms and posits that the number of species that exist is a mere fraction of those that can originate and possibly do, but remain unnoticed due to being unable to live and reproduce. Concluding, this book explores the role of instincts and elucidates their function as the root of ethics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
