Abstract
This last essay in the series commemorating Wilhelm Roux (1850–1924) is devoted to speculative developmental theories (or models as they would be called today) proposed in the decade following Roux’s manifesto on Entwickelungsmechanik (see Sander 1991a). That decade, 1885–1895, not only saw Roux’s pioneering experimental papers discussed in previous essays and the influential books of August Weismann (1834–1914) on his Keimplasmatheorie, but also the competing theories on animal development proposed by Hans Driesch (1867–1941) and Oscar Hertwig (1849–1922). Towards the end of this period, Roux founded his Archiv fur Entwickelungsmechanik, demonstrating the new discipline’s consolidation.
