This book illustrates that the stereotypical representations of Gregor Mendel and his work misrepresent his findings and their historical context. The author sets the historical record straight and provides scientists with a reference guide to the respective scholarship in the early history of genetics. The overarching argument is twofold: on the one hand, that we had better avoid na\u00EFve hero-worshipping and understand each historical figure, Mendel in particular, by placing them in the actual sociocultural context in which they lived and worked; on the other hand, that we had better refrain from teaching in schools the naive Mendelian genetics that provided the presumed \u0093scientific\u0094 basis for eugenics.\nKey Features\nCorrects the distorting stereotypical representations of Mendelian genetics\n\nHow we Get Mendel Wrong, and Why it Matters\nChallenging the narrative of Mendelian genetics\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK del;
