In Mendel's Footnotes

Synopsis

In the 1850s and 1860s, growing peas in his monastery garden in Brno in Moravia, Augustinian friar Gregor Mendel worked out the basic laws of heredity. Colin Tudge argues that once what Mendel is understood, subsequent advances fall naturally into place and light is thrown on humanity's future.
