38 THEORIES OF SPONTANEOUS GENERATION 



ot living nature became more and more precise, spontaneous 

 generation was gradually relegated to simpler and simpler 

 organisms. Finally the sudden appearance of even the most 

 primitive organisms from inanimate material was shown to 

 be impossible. Thus, to-day, the theory of spontaneous genera- 

 tion has no more than a historical interest and cannot serve 

 as an approach to the problem with which we are concerned.
