The Mutation Theory, Vol. 1: Experiments and Observations on the Origin of Species in the Vegetable Kingdom

Gregor Mendel

Overview

This classic reprint presents Gregor Mendel's foundational research on heredity and genetics, originally published in 1865. The work details rigorous studies and comparisons of plant specimens and their offspring, including original illustrations and charts. Mendel's conclusions regarding the hereditary nature of variant traits and their predictability through probability analysis were revolutionary for natural science. His assertions, demonstrated through experiments with peas, sparked significant interest in the mechanisms of inheritance.
