What I plan to improve on this article[change source]

  1. Add 3 sources and a reference heading at the bottom
  2. Add a subheading about the stages of embryo development
  3. Expand the introduction paragraph with more details about what an embryo is

What do you think about my proposed changes? Swim123blue (talk) 16:09, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Give it a go. There's no knowing until you do. Jim.henderson (talk) 14:37, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • You'll find more details on En wiki under Embryo, Embryology, Human embryogenesis, Plant embryogenesis and Prenatal development. But I think all these pages go further, much further, than we need to go.
Boklage, Charles E. (2009). How new humans are made: cells and embryos, twins and chimeras, Left and Right, mind/self/soul, sex, and schizophrenia. World Scientific. p. 217. ISBN 978-981-283-513-0.
Moore L. Keith. (2008). Before we are born: essentials of embryology and birth defects. Philadelphia, PA: Saunders/Elsevier. ISBN 978-1-4160-3705-7.
Both these books are about humans, whereas the page is meant to be more general. If you were a primary school teacher I would say "get some frog spawn": it'll do all the teaching for you. I can't really recommend the two books above, because I've not read them! I do know this is a particularly difficult area to achieve a simple version...

Oh, we've got a page developmental biology which is a rather better page. Macdonald-ross (talk) 16:11, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
