Leophanes (
Ancient Greek: Λεωφάνης[1][2]) was an Ancient Greek scientist and naturalist who lived approximately between 470 and 430 BC[3] and the 4th century BC.[2] He is known from mentions in Aristotle and Pseudo-Plutarch, both of whom discuss his theory that male and female animals are generated from different testicles.[4]
