Rediscovering and Unrediscovering Gregor Mendel: His Life, Times, and Intellectual Context.
Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology pii:cshperspect.a [Epub ahead of print].
Two things about Mendel were "rediscovered" in His famous paper of and the story of his life and long neglect. Unlike the paper, which anyone could read in its entirety, the story came out only gradually, and many of its elements were misconstrued by Western European scientists. They pictured him as a pure scientist like themselves and were puzzled by or disinterested in his career as a clergyman, his intellectual community in far-off Moravia, and the importance to him of practical plant breeding. This paper recapitulates the process of mythmaking that followed the rediscovery, then shows how more recent historical research has been able to undo it and, in a sense, "unrediscover" Mendel.

Gregor Mendel
Austrian friar and scientist (–)
Gregor Johann MendelOSA (; Czech: Řehoř Jan Mendel;[2] 20 July [3] – 6 January ) was an Austrian[4][5] biologist, meteorologist,[6] mathematician, Augustinianfriar and abbot of St. Thomas' Abbey in Brno (Brünn), Margraviate of Moravia. Mendel was born in a German-speaking family in the Silesian part of the Austrian Empire (today's Czech Republic) and gained posthumous recognition as the founder of the modern science of genetics.[7] Though farmers had known for millennia that crossbreeding of animals and plants could favor certain desirable traits, Mendel's pea plant experiments conducted between and established many of the rules of heredity, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance.[8]
Mendel worked with seven characteristics of pea plants: plant height, pod shape and color, seed shape and color, and flower position and color. Taking seed color

Who Was Gregor Mendel?
Gregor Mendel, known as the "father of modern genetics," was born in Austria in A monk, Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments in his monastery's garden. His experiments showed that the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants follows particular patterns, subsequently becoming the foundation of modern genetics and leading to the study of heredity.
Early Life
Gregor Johann Mendel was born Johann Mendel on July 20, , to Anton and Rosine Mendel, on his family’s farm, in what was then Heinzendorf, Austria. He spent his early ungdom in that rural setting, until age 11, when a local schoolmaster who was impressed with his aptitude for learning recommended that he be sent to secondary school in Troppau to continue his education. The move was a financial strain on his family, and often a difficult experience for Mendel, but he excelled in his studies, and in , he graduated from the school with honor
