The experiments that demonstrated that meat does not spontaneously generate maggots were conducted by Francesco Redi in the 17th century. He conducted a series of experiments in which he put meat into jars and covered some of them with gauze to prevent flies from laying eggs on the meat. The jars that were left uncovered produced maggots, while the ones covered with gauze did not, supporting the idea of biogenesis (life only comes from pre-existing life) rather than spontaneous generation.
