Summary "Schenk's Theory: The Determination of Sex" by Samuel Leopold Schenk is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the biological and embryological aspects of sex determination, exploring the nuances of reproduction, cellular development, and external influences that could affect the sex of offspring. Schenk aims to share empirical findings and insights with the scientific community, hoping to promote further research in the field. The opening of the book lays the foundational premise that the differentiation of sex is observable from the embryonic stage, with significant emphasis on the role of the ovum and its cellular properties in determining the future sex of an organism. Schenk discusses various prior theories and speculations surrounding sex determination, contemplating how external factors (such as nutrition and environmental conditions) can influence whether a male or female embryo forms. He emphasizes the complexity and variability in the development processes of sex and sets the stage for introducing methods of artificially influencing sex through scientific exploration.
