1894 H. S. Williams in Jrnl. Geol. (Chicago) 2 157 I would propose that we subdivide the eras into Periods, according to the lines which paleontologists have generally come to recognize as convenient and natural, making a three-fold (or in some cases a two-fold) division of each era, and that they may be distinguished by prefixing the syllables Eo, Meso and Neo to the name of the era.

1875 J. W. Dawson Nature & Bible v. 155 I have suggested the terms Palæocosmic and Neocosmic, and I would hold as of the first age such men as can be proved to have lived in time of greatest elevation of the European land in the Post-glacial period, and of the second those who came in as their successors in the Modern period.

1903 Ibis 3 15 But the opposite hypothesis, that we have in this singular small Owl a case of neogenesis—i.e. the ex-abrupto formation of a new type with sufficient differential characters to constitute, if maintained, a new species,—can, I believe, be upheld. The term neogenesis was first used to explain this sudden origin of new forms from old-established species..by my friend and colleague Prof. Paolo Mantegazza, many years ago; it has been since used, more or less in the same sense, by the late Prof. Cope and by others.

1966 D. D. Davis & R. Zangerl tr. W. Hennig Phylogenetic Systematics iii. 228 The theory of the ‘early ontogenetic origin of types’ assumes a special place in discussions of the origin of higher categories or new types. Equivalent or nearly equivalent are the concepts of ‘proterogenesis’ (Schindewolf), paedomorphism (Garstang), and—as Wettstein 1942 emphasizes—the designations diametagenesis.., fetalization.., and neomorphosis.
