spontaneous generation
The theory that life comes from pre-existing life is known as biogenesis. This idea suggests that living organisms can only arise from other living organisms, rather than spontaneously generating from non-living matter. Biogenesis contrasts with the earlier theory of spontaneous generation, which proposed that living organisms could arise from inanimate substances.

Because the idea of acquired traits states that simple organisms could arise from nonliving matter and could form complex forms of living, which is not supported anymore by modern scientific study of mechanisms of inheritance.
Lazzaro Spallanzani's theory proposed the idea that microorganisms could only arise through reproduction from other living organisms and not spontaneously from non-living matter. He conducted experiments to demonstrate the role of germs in causing fermentation, suggesting that microorganisms were responsible for the process instead of being generated spontaneously.
But of course! Nobody knows who they are. You could be related for that matter. Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mark 6:3
Lamarck was a French naturalist who wrote an Evolutionary Theory which assumed simple microscopic organisms arise spontaneously from non living matter. He further supposed that these forms had an innate tendency to gradually evolve further other time into organisms with an even greater complexity. under this theory traits could therfore arise become more developed through an organ system. Traits could also be lessened or lost.
