Excerpt from Edinburgh Medical Journal, Vol. 41: Part II; January to June, 1896
In the early ages of the world's history it was customary to ascribe all unusual phenomena of Nature - earthquakes, comets, eclipses, and the like - to supernatural causes. Abundant evidence of this is to be found in the literature and legends of the past, and in the customs and beliefs of savage or primitive peoples existing at the present time. Amongst the unusual phenomena of Nature malformations and monstrosities of the human foetus or of the young of the lower animals could scarcely fail to find a place, and SO it happens that in the earliest records of teratology are to be found hints, and even proofs, that such occurrences were regarded as due to supernatural agencies. In different parts of the world, and in the same part but at different times, opinions differed as to the nature of the supernatural teratogenic cause and the meaning of the teratological phenomenon. Some peoples ascribed mon strous births to the gods they worshipped; other races, who had divided their pantheon into good and evil deities, put the blame sometimes upon the former and sometimes upon the latter whilst yet others connected teratological states with the position and mode of combination of the stars and other heavenly bodies.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of the various teratogenic theories that have been handed down to us from early ages, or have sprung up within more recent times. The light which experimental teratogeny has thrown upon these theories is also referred to, and thereafter the way in which teratogenic causes act is discussed. Since much of the work that has been instrumental in bringing about this improved condition of matters has been little, if at all, referred to in current medical literature and since, also, the practical bearings of several of the discoveries that have been made are very evident and of great importance, it has seemed to the author desirable and opportune to pass in review the teratological theories that have been from time to time advanced, and to indicate the lines along which recent research has been working and the results which have been thus obtained. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781334576171_0
