"This book compares the biblical story of creation to human embryonic development. Kaspar Appenzeller leads us through his years of research into the enormous images of Genesis and relates them to what science has to say today about the origin of the human body. He comes to the concrete view that man is a small cosmos, a microcosm compared to the big world, the macrocosm. The original Hebrew language proves to be a true marvel; not only the meaning but also the individual sounds of the words illustrate the reality they describe. One is confronted with the fact that the writer of this text has touched on the real educational impulses of the world and humanity. This book is based on the insights of Rudolf Steiner"--

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Dr. Kaspar Appenzeller (1927-1999) was a Swiss doctor whose medical career spanned 1956 to 1998. He studied medicine in Zurich, had a private practice, and worked as a school doctor. Dr. Appenzeller was committed to anthroposophic medicine, and later in life devoted his time to the Rudolf Steiner estate. As a researcher, he was especially interested in embryology (as microcosmic genesis), anatomy, and the human heart, whose rhythmic activity he believed was far more than a mere mechanism for circulating blood. He was the author of several books published by Zbinden Druck und Verlag, Basel, Switzerland. He also made a film in 1961, The Problem of Blood Movement Demonstrated on Chicken Embryos (in Dutch).
