Draft:Entwicklungsmechanik

Submission declined on 7 July 2024 by Ldm1954 (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: It may well be that this topic merits a page. However, as written only someone in the field will know. An educated scientist in another field (e.g. me) will have no idea whether this is notable, a hoax or what. Please develop it a bit more, indicating how it connects to 21st century science instead of relying exvlusively upon 60 year old sources. Ldm1954 (talk) 20:26, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Entwicklungsmechanik, or developmental mechanics, is a concept founded in 1875 by Wilhelm His Sr. (1831-1904) and in 1882 by Wilhelm Roux (1850-1924).^[1]. It was further investigated by Hans Driesch (1867-1941) and Hans Spemann (1869-1941). Factors and mechanisms of development are today investigated as part of Developmental biology.

Early researchers in Entwicklungsmechanik tried to prove the epigenetic character of fetal development by influencing the order of normal development stages through mechanical interventions in Blastomeres. This was intended to probe the validity of Preformationism, and ended up establishing an experimental approach to Embryology. Among others, Kristine Bonnevie (1872-1948) and Richard Goldschmidt (1878-1958) later connected the field to Genetics^[2] ^[3] ^[4]
