Regeneration of frogs in Aristotlegreenspun.com : LUSENET : History & Theory of Psychology : One Thread |
I read somewhere that Aristotle believed that frogs regenerated from the mud each sping. A couple of folks have told me that the frog example does not appear in Aristotle's work. I cannot find the source of my apparent misinformation. Any help would be appreciated.
