The Mysteries of Human Reproduction: The Ovist Theory of Reproduction is a book written by Raymond W. Bernard in 1959. The book explores the fascinating and complex topic of human reproduction, with a particular focus on the ovist theory of reproduction. The ovist theory, which was popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, posits that all human beings are created from a pre-existing egg cell, rather than from the combination of sperm and egg cells. In this book, Bernard delves into the history of the ovist theory, tracing its origins and examining the evidence that was used to support it. He also explores the various criticisms and challenges that were leveled against the theory, and considers its ultimate decline in popularity. Beyond the ovist theory, the book also covers a wide range of topics related to human reproduction, including the anatomy and physiology of the male and female reproductive systems, the process of fertilization, and the development of the embryo and fetus. Bernard draws on a range of scientific and medical sources to provide a comprehensive and engaging overview of this fascinating topic. Overall, The Mysteries of Human Reproduction: The Ovist Theory of Reproduction is a thought-provoking and informative book that will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of science, reproductive biology, or human anatomy and physiology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
