Spontaneous Generation was an old-fangled speculation that complete lifeforms routinely were born from inanimate matter, back in the days when people would see mice coming out of haystacks they didnt know mice were in, or maggots and flies "growing" out of meat they didnt realize had fly eggs on it. This is like... Greek Era.

 

Hmm... Aristotle was one of it's earliest proponents but it wasn't until 1859 when Louis Pasteur finally put the nail in its coffin.
