Maggots and other Organisms
In 1658, Scientist Athanasius Kircher discovered maggots and other living creatures developed in decaying tissues. In the same time period, oval red-blood corpuscles were discovered by Dutch naturalists Jan Swammerdam, who also discovered a frog embryo consists of globular particles.
I chose this date because it was the discovery of maggots in decaying tissue. I think this is important because maggots and other organisms are essential to the breakdown of living organisms today. -
