关于作者

Karl Ernst von Baer was a pioneering Estonian biologist and the first person to describe mammalian ova. He is widely recognized for his contributions to embryology, particularly his formulation of the Baer’s Law, which posits that the development of an embryo proceeds from the general to the specific. His work laid the groundwork for future research in developmental biology and evolutionary theory, influencing generations of scientists. Von Baer also made significant contributions to zoology, anatomy, and the study of fossils.

Throughout his career, Baer published numerous scientific papers and books, sharing his findings and perspectives on various biological phenomena. His efforts in establishing embryology as a distinct scientific discipline earned him the title of the father of embryology. He was also instrumental in founding the University of Dorpat, which became a center for scientific research in the Baltic region. Despite facing challenges in his career, including political obstacles and the tumultuous scientific environment of his time, Baer’s legacy continues to resonate in the fields of biology and medicine.
