What do the lungs do?

Where do babies come from?

I am Nicolaas Hartsoeker.
In 1678 I was using my microscope and I discovered tiny

Inside each I can see a tiny human being. Sperm must carry
a tiny person which grows into a baby inside the mother’s
womb.
What evidence could the model be
explaining?

What is our current model for the way in which a baby
