(July 20, 1822 – January 6, 1884)
Gregor Mendel is universally acknowledged as the “Father of Genetics”. It was his botanical experiments which revealed the secrets of hereditary. For ages, the science of genetics begged to be unveiled. And despite having intrigued us for centuries, nobody bothered to investigate until Mendel did in the 1850s. This is very surprising: given the fact that Carl Linnaeus used similarity traits as basis for his taxonomy in the 1730s. Had he examined the mechanisms behind those resemblances, he would have been praised for genetics in addition to taxonomy. Even more so is Charles Darwin, (Mendel’s older contemporary), who invoked apparent resemblances with his Evolution Theory (in the 1850s). Notwithstanding, Mendel deserves every accolade which genetics brought him. The fact that various breeds of flora and fauna exhibit various traits piqued his curiosity. And he responded by researching on mice and bees. But his abbey’s abbot deemed such animal husbandry an unsuitable project for friar. So, Mendel switched to plant breeding: comparing parameters such as heights and flower colors. He then analyzed his findings statistically: realizing that the outcomes of successive filial generations were so consistent that they could be predicted. His inferential methodologies were as revolutionary as they were conclusive. They unlocked the wonders of hereditary which fascinate us nowadays. His Laws of Heredity were such novelties that nobody appreciated them until long after his death. But in comparison to genetics, Gregor Mendel did research and publish more on meteorology and apiculture. He even initiated Austria’s Meteorological Society.
