Leopold Schenk (23 August 1840 – 17 August 1902) was an Austrian embryologist.

Biography

Schenk was born in Ürmény, Hungary. He graduated from the University of Vienna in 1865 and was appointed assistant professor of embryology there in 1873. He attained world-wide notoriety and the censure of the medical profession generally for his theories concerning sex control of the embryo through the diet of the mother. He also worked the theory into an elaborate plan for control of the development of the race. He was eventually forced to resign his position in the university. He died in Schwanberg, aged 61.

Honors

1985 Schenk became an elected member of the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.
