Description: Joe Cain reviews 'The Monk in the Garden: The Lost and Found Genius of Gregor Mendel, the Father of Genetics' by Robin Marantz Henig.
It took decades for scientists to appreciate what Gregor Mendel had accomplished. The Lost and Found Genius of Gregor Mendel, the Father of Genetics. he life of Gregor Johann Mendel is a classic tale of redemption. In simple, elegant experiments, this monk and schoolteacher discovered the basic laws of genetics. But Mendel died in obscurity in 1884, his achievement unrecognized. Had the wider world of science known his discovery when he published it, it would have solved the mystery of how inheritance works, and it could have corrected a problem that nearly sank Darwin's evolutionary theory. In 1900, botanists rediscovered Mendel's work, and genetics has been grateful ever since. The path was winding, but, as Robin Marantz Henig says in this biography, it led to his being ''the father of genetics.''
