Abrogenesis refers to the process of spontaneous generation or the belief that living organisms can arise from non-living matter. Historically, it was a widely accepted concept until scientific advancements, particularly in microbiology and the understanding of biogenesis, disproved it. Modern Biology recognizes that life arises from pre-existing living organisms through reproduction. The term is rarely used in contemporary scientific discourse, as it has been largely replaced by more accurate explanations of life's origins.
