Abstract

The ancient philosophers discussed many theories about the world, such as the existence of atoms, chaos and determinism, evolution and relativity, and yet none of them conceived the cell theory, the idea that all living creatures are made of cells. This great generalisation was made possible by the invention of the microscope, but did not appear suddenly. It was the result of a research that lasted more than 200 years.
