"Life Comes From Life"
In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The primitive
understanding of science in his time rested on the assumption that living
beings had a very simple structure. Since medieval times, spontaneous gen-
eration, which asserts that non-living materials came together to form living
organisms, had been widely accepted. It was commonly believed that
insects came into being from food leftovers, and mice from wheat. Interest-
ing experiments were conducted to prove this theory. Some wheat was
placed on a dirty piece of cloth, and it was believed that mice would origi-
nate from it after a while.
Similarly, maggots developing in rotting meat was assumed to be evi-
dence of spontaneous generation. However, it was later understood that
worms did not appear on meat spontaneously, but were carried there by
flies in the form of larvae, invisible to the naked eye.
Even when Darwin wrote The Origin of Species, the belief that bacteria

Through his experiments, Louis Pasteur invalidated
the idea that “life can emerge from inanimate mat-
ter,” on which the theory of evolution is based.
