« Au fracas de la foudre, les animaux intelligents s'éveillèrent »

Félix Pouchet, in Heterogeny or Spontaneous generation Treatise (1859), argues, against Pasteur and Milne-Edwards, for the existence of a « genesical force » inside matter at the beginning of the universe, still active in the formation and transformation of species.
