This page is a brief introduction to just some of the historic embryologists who have contributed to our understanding of development today. The embryologists have been listed in a rough timeline and some also have separate pages providing more detailed information. This page does not cover modern embryologists, who can be found as the authors of articles and reviews in many different journals and books today. |

Martin Heinrich Rathke (1793 – 1860)
| Rathke was a German embryologist and anatomist best known today for "Rathke's pouch", a transient folding surface ectoderm from roof of the oral cavity that will form the anterior pituitary (hypophysis). in later development the connection with the oral cavity is lost.
