Document Summary
First person to make a hypothesis for where life comes from was done by aristotle. Basically life is not necessary to create life. Based upon examples, given the right conditions and ingredients will create life, not requiring life. Depending on conditions you created different organisms, similar to cooking. He believed that no matter could be created or destroyed, what occurred with these ingredients, everything that existed in life was a transformation into something new. His hypothesis was the life occurs spontaneously, calls it spontaneous generation. First person to carry out experiments was van helmont, he developed different recipes to generate living organisms. Recipe (cid:449)as(cid:374)"t se(cid:454)ist i(cid:374) any way because there were female and male mice. Aristotle said life was not required to generate life, helmont said that life created from non living matter can generate and create life, so there are two ways to create life. Go from something no living to something living.
