Edward John von Komorowski Menge highlighted precisely how major developments in science and technology do not occur in his 1930 article “Biological Problems and Opinions” published in the scientific periodical The Quarterly Review of Biology: “But merely extending knowledge a step further is not developing science. Breeding homing pigeons that could cover a given space with ever increasing rapidity did not give us the laws of telegraphy, nor did breeding faster horses bring us the steam locomotive.”
