As we all know today, unknown to Darwin, in his monastery garden the Moravian monk Gregor Mendel was working away developing just the mechanism of heredity that was needed by the theory of the Origin.

Mendel studied math, physics, and eventually botany in school. While conducting experiments with hybridized pea plants in the monastery garden and greenhouse, he discovered the principles of heredity.

A REVIEW of the first edition of Dr. Bateson's valuable conspectus of discoveries in regard to heredity made by the application of Mendel's methods of research, appeared in NATURE of May 25, 1911 ...

Mendel's library of 20,000 books included a copy of Darwin's "Origin," but Mendel never seemed to connect his discoveries with the theory of evolution. For his part, Darwin himself came ...

That's what a team of scientists in the Czech Republic did this year to celebrate Gregor Mendel, a scientist and friar whose experiments in the mid-1800s laid the groundwork for modern genetics.

Mendel solved the logic of inheritance in his monastery garden with no more technology than Darwin had in his garden at Down House. So why couldn’t Darwin have done it too? A Journal of Biology ...

At the turn of the 20th century, Gregor Mendel’s seminal 1866 paper on pea plants and the principles of inheritance resurfaced in the scientific community, thanks to a few intrepid botanists who had ...
