在现代科学的快节奏和竞争力，有越来越少的时间来教学生的背景如何目前使用的科学方法和思想来了。这个事实是不恰当的，因为认识到许多所谓的发现和发明并不是新的，旧的文献充满了思想，这是有益的。我们做工作时，常常站在前人的肩膀上。自1960年以来，对哺乳动物早期体外发育的研究呈爆炸性增长，为这些事实提供了许多例证。此外，为了尽量减少调查人员“重新发现车轮”的倾向，此时应该反思该领域的根源。这个问题与胚胎移植（见亚当斯，1982）和体外受精（见奥斯汀（1961）和比格斯（1984））的历史密切相关。
In the fast pace and competitiveness of modern science, there is less and less time to teach students the background on how the currently used scientific methods and ideas came about. This fact is unfprtunate, for it is salutary to realize that many so-called discoveries and inventions are not new and that the old literature is replete with ideas. In doing our work we often stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before. The study of early mammalian development in vitro, which has undergone explosive growth since 1960, provides many illustrations of these facts. In addition, to minimize the tendency of investigators to “rediscover the wheel”, it is pertinent at this time to reflect on the roots of the field. The subject is closely intertwined with the history of embryo transfer (see Adams, 1982) and of in vitro fertilization [see Austin (1961) and Biggers (1984)].
