ABIOGENESIS
14
Definition
Pronunciation: //ˌeɪbaɪəʊˈdʒɛnəsɪs//
noun
- (evolutionary theory) The origination of living organisms from lifeless matter; such genesis as does not involve the action of living parents."And thus the hypothesis that living matter always arises by the agency of pre-existing living matter, took definite shape; […] It will be necessary for me to refer to this hypothesis so frequently, that, to save circumlocution, I shall call it the hypothesis of Biogenesis; and I shall term the contrary doctrine—that living matter may be produced by not living matter—the hypothesis of Abiogenesis."
