GREGOR MENDEL. “There is no greater legend in the history of science than that of the experiments of Gregor Mendel. Three moments in this legend are extraordinary: first, how in the 1860s, Mendel discovered the laws governing the inheritance of individual characters; second, how the scientific world failed to recognise the monumental importance of these findings during his life-time; and third, the remarkable ‘rediscovery’ in 1900 of what later came to be called Mendelism.”
