Orthogenesis is a term coined in 1893 by the German zoologist Wilhelm Haacke, which indicates in biology a straight line evolution characterized by the development of a given organ or character, either continuously or without deviation; it is also called the branch of constitutional medicine that deals with phenomena and problems related to the physical and psychic development of man from intrauterine life to maturity. It is also called the concept that biological evolution has taken place based on a determined plan and / or purpose.
The orthogenetic conception most closely linked to the actual history of natural sciences is that of Jesuit paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin. Links externalize the wikitesto
