Heredity Before Mendel Poczai Peter
The history of Science is replete with untold stories and this book is one of these accounts. One such interlude unfolded in Mendel's home city and involved the sheep breeder, Imre Festetics. The author shares a narrative of heredity, an active topic of inquiry long before Gregor Mendel - the father of genetics - planted his peas.
Unfortunately, aspects of wool quality, now known to be polygenic, complicate interpretations of the work of Festetics and explain why it is neglected. He sought to improve wool and proposed important rules of heredity. The forebearers of Mendel never get the credit they deserve.
Heredity Before Mendel resurrects Festetics, the grandfather of heredity.Key Features 1) Documents a vibrant community of scholars interested in heredity before Mendel 2) Highlights the work of Imre Festetics, the forgotten grandfather of genetics
