BIRTH OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY FIRST EDITION! Abraham Trembley 1710-1784 Scientist Philosopher and Pioneer of Experimental Zoology from Geneva discovered the regenerative powers of the polyp and photosensitivity in an animal without eyes and he was the first to witness cell-division anddiscovered Hydra. Trembley was the first person to show that certain animals can be artificially multiplied by Division the first to make permanent grafts on animal tissues the first to prove by rigorous experiment that asexual reproduction by budding occurs in animals and the first to witness cell-division: he also discovered the process by which Protozoa multiply. These are only a few of his contributions to biological knowledge. A large part of his research was concerned with the little fresh-water polyp hydra an animal of particular importance today because it is one of the standard "types" used all over the world in teaching elementary biology to students of science medicine and agriculture. At the time of publication the immediate philosophical repercussions were even more startling animal soul was clearly shown to be material. The heterogenetic origin of life seemed to be confirmed. Bonnet suggested that the polyp bridged the animal and vegetable kingdoms nullifying their supposedly complete separation. Later he declared the polyp to be the key to the interpretation of nature.
