Biogenesis and Abiogenesis (President's Address to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Liverpool, 1870)

Thomas Henry Huxley's 1870 presidential address to the British Association on biogenesis and abiogenesis, collected in 1894. The companion cites it for xenogenesis, the nineteenth-century term for the generation of offspring unlike the parent. In noogenetic lineages this becomes a description rather than an error, since any lineage can in principle build any kind of agent.
