Autogenies

/ˌɔːtəˈdʒɛniːz/ noun

Definition

Plural of autogeny; multiple instances of self-generation or self-origination in organisms or systems.

Etymology

Kelly Says

Early biologists who studied autogenies were fascinated by creatures like hydra, which could regenerate whole bodies from tiny fragments—nature's self-repair seemed almost miraculous.
