Regeneration

"Regeneration" by Thomas Hunt Morgan, is a scientific work that investigates the fascinating ability of different animals to regrow lost body parts, examining how this process works and what it means for biology. The book starts by looking at the history of regeneration research and discussing the work of early scientists who studied creatures like hydras and earthworms. Morgan examines existing ideas about regeneration, sharing his own findings from experiments and recent discoveries. He points out that regeneration is not just affected by internal factors, but also by outside things like temperature and food. Ultimately, Morgan argues that understanding regeneration is important for learning more about biology as a whole, setting the scene for a thorough investigation into the internal processes and external influences that help regeneration happen in a variety of species.
