The artificial production of malformations, teratogenesis, was established as a special branch of experimental biology during the nineteenth century. Outstanding among the pioneer workers was Dareste who on the basis of extensive observations on the effects of temperature variations on chick embryos, concluded that teratogeny was always the consequence of a deviation from normal embryonic pathways, and that almost all malformations were caused by arrest of development. He further noted that induced defects in the chick closely resembled those found in mammals, especially in man.
