Rudolph L. K. Virchow, “Cellular Pathology; as Based upon Physiological and Pathological Histology”, 1858 was nonfiction science of histology. Robert Hooke’s, “Micrographia”, 1665 coined the term “cell”; and, cell was the void space seen in “cork”. The concept of “cell” as this minute volume is derived from 1665. This book published 1858; consider, Charles Darwin, “The Origin of the Species”, 1859 was published in coming months. Rudolf L. K. Virchow, “Cellular Pathology”, 1858; also, Robert Gray, “Anatomy: Descriptive and Surgical”, 1858 both became part of the Evolution debate.
Rudolph L. K. Virchow, “Cellular Pathology: as Based upon Physiological and Pathological Histology”, 1858 was the “cutting-edge” tissue research. Xavier Bichat in 1802 delineated 21 tissues of the human body, without microscopy.
Rudolf L. K. Virchow took the next step with microscopic, images of tissues. The tissue is cells in: “connection”, “structure”, and “function”. Likewise, the molecule is elements in: “connection”, “structure”, and “function”. “You are what you eat”; molecular cells are you.
