from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

  • noun Regeneration of biological tissue.
  • noun The formation of new minerals.

from The Century Dictionary.

  • noun A new genesis or begetting; new production. See the extract. The term neogenesis was first used to explain this sudden origin of new forms from old-established species, if I am not mistaken, by my friend and colleague Professor Paolo Mantegazza, many years ago; it has been since used, more or less in the same sense, by the late Professor Cope and by others.
