Definition
The scientific principle that all living organisms come from other living organisms (life comes from life), opposing the older idea that life could spontaneously create itself.
Etymology
From bio- (life) + genesis (Greek genesis, 'origin' or 'coming into being'). The term was coined in the 1800s by scientists like Thomas Huxley to describe the theory that life only originates from life.
Kelly Says
Biogenesis was huge in science—it replaced the belief in 'spontaneous generation' where people thought maggots could just appear on meat without parent organisms!
