The Ontogenetic Basis of Human Anatomy: A Biodynamic Approach to Development from Conception to Birth
Conception Birth: The Ontogenetic Basis of Human Anatomy presents Erich Blechschmidt’s approach to human development through the changing form and structure of the embryo. It may suit readers interested in biodynamic embryology, while its particular framing is worth considering alongside other developmental biology perspectives.
At a glance
