Lazzaro Spallanzani, an Italian Catholic priest, biologist, and physiologist, made significant contributions to the experimental study of bodily functions, animal reproduction, and animal echolocation. He conducted groundbreaking research on biogenesis, which led to the rejection of the theory of spontaneous generation. His experiments on fertilization and in vitro fertilization were compiled in his influential book “Experiencias Para Servir a La Historia de La Generación De Animales y Plantas.” Spallanzani’s work laid the foundation for modern understanding in the field of biology.
