I believe Hippocrates also created a theory of pangenesis - though I have no references apart from a lecturer. If anybody does it may be worth adding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.213.45 (talk) 14:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the 'no sources' template after adding material with citations. I would also point out that the reference in the text to the book by Darwin in which Pangenesis was described constitutes a major primary source. --Memestream 10:07, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

In Descent of Man, Darwin argues (p. 18) that only Pangenesis can explain the complete disappearance of rudimentary organs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.150.167.51 (talk) 17:52, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
