I found the bubble theory the most interesting since it was so different from everything else. I also enjoyed comparing and contrasting the different theories and choosing the one I thought was the most believable. Finding information on the earlier types of spontaneous generation was a little bit difficult, but that was O.K.
Good job on finding similarities between the Bubble theory and Darwin's evolution theory, but if life containing bubbles rose to the surface, wouldn't the organisms have to evolve in order to become mammals? Or are you trying to say that the Bubble theory preluded evolution rather than Spontaneous Generation? This wasn't clear to me. But overall, nice info, clear explanations, great work.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Karen! It's interesting how people believed that animals and insects came out of the mud when the river flooded. Great information in this essay.
