It would be unsafe however to conclude that he had really arrived at what is known as the Cell Theory.

This important work dated back to 1842 and was inspired by his enthusiasm for the then novel cell-theory of Schleiden and Schwann.

Another argument against the teleological view is derived from the facts of the cell-theory.

Schwann had therefore a good deal of exact knowledge to go upon in discussing the significance of the ovum for the cell-theory.

The harmful influence of the cell-theory upon morphology did not pass unnoticed by the broader-minded zoologists of the day.
