By Péter PoczaiThe history of Science is replete with untold stories and this book is one of these accounts. The author shares a narrative of heredity, an active topic of inquiry long before Gregor Mendel – the father of genetics – planted his peas. One such interlude unfolded in Mendel’s home city and involved the sheep breeder, Imre Festetics. He sought to improve wool and proposed important rules of heredity. Unfortunately, aspects of wool quality, now known to be polygenic, complicate interpretations of the work of Festetics and explain why it is neglected. The forebearers of Mendel never get the credit they deserve. Heredity Before Mendel resurrects Festetics, the grandfather of heredity.Key Features1) Documents a vibrant community of scholars interested in heredity before Mendel2) Highlights the work of Imre Festetics, the forgotten grandfather of genetics3) Desribes political repression which stifled the nascent foundation of heredity research4) Emphasizes the role sheep and wool played as the first model system of genetics5) Challenges19th century taboos in Moravia leading to malicious rumors about the inbred royal House of Austria (Habsburgs).Product DetailsPublisher : CRC Press; 1st edition (June 16, 2022)Language : EnglishHardcover : 258 pagesISBN-10 : 1032027436ISBN-13 : 978-1032027432ISBN-13 : 9781032027432eText ISBN: 9781000594683
