Urformen der Sexualität: Wie Nathanael Pringsheim den Algen die Unschuld nahm

Nathanael Pringsheim transformed 19th-century biology through groundbreaking research on algae. His discovery of sexuality in lower life forms challenged existing views on reproduction and helped lay the foundations of modern biological science.

This book (in German) explores Pringsheim’s scientific achievements, the fate of his Jewish family during the Third Reich, and his instrumental role in founding Germany’s first marine biological research station on the island of Helgoland—a landmark in scientific history.
