In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The
primitive understanding of science in his time rested on the as-
sumption that living beings had a very simple structure. Since
medieval times, spontaneous generation, which asserts that non-
living materials came together to form living organisms, had been
widely accepted. It was commonly believed that insects came in-
to being from food leftovers, and mice from wheat. Interesting ex-
periments were conducted to prove this theory. Some wheat was
placed on a dirty piece of cloth, and it was believed that mice
would originate from it after a while.
Similarly, maggots developing in rotting meat was assumed
to be evidence 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 could come into existence from non-living matter was
widely accepted in the world of science.
However, five years after the publica-
tion of Darwin's book, Louis Pasteur an-
nounced his results after long studies
and experiments, that disproved
spontaneous generation, a corner-
stone of Darwin's theory. In his tri-
umphal lecture at the Sorbonne in
1864, Pasteur said: "Never will the
doctrine of spontaneous generation
recover from the mortal blow struck by
Louis Pasteur this simple experiment." 42
