Embryology, from vertigo to vertigo.
Résumé
In the 1970s, the problem of embryo development was perceived as potentially insurmountable. Forty years later, molecular genetics elucidated the explanatory principles, and the emerging field of embryology demands a new synthesis of the Theory of Evolution. In this brief historical account of what transpired between these two moments, as I experienced it, I present the following questions: 1) What were the driving forces behind this narrative? 2) Does a new theory of development emerge, and where does it stand in relation to those predating this revolution?
