Lazzaro Spallanzani was an Italian biologist and physiologist whose work was characterized by a deep engagement with the experimental study of life processes. He challenged the theory of spontaneous generation and investigated animal reproduction, performing early experiments in artificial insemination. Spallanzani also made pioneering discoveries in bat echolocation and illuminated digestion as a chemical process, laying groundwork for modern scientific understanding.
