In biology,  (or, in contrast topreformationism, ) is the process by which plants, animals and fungi develop from a seed, spore or egg through a sequence of steps in which cells differentiate and organsform.[1]

In biology,  (or, in contrast topreformationism, ) is the process by which plants, animals and fungi develop from a seed, spore or egg through a sequence of steps in which cells differentiate and organsform.[1]Aristotle first published the theory of epigenesis in his book On the Generation of Animals Although epigenesis appears to be an obvious fact in today's genetic age, historicallycreationist theories of life's originshindered its acceptance.[2] However, during the late 18th century an extended and controversial debate among biologists finally led epigenesis to eclipse the long-established preformationist view.[3][4] The embryologist Caspar Friedrich Wolffrefuted preformationism in 1759 in favor of epigenesis, but this did not put an end to preformationism.[5]
