On 8 February 1865, Gregor Mendel delivered the results of his experiments with peas and inheritance at a meeting in Moravia.

Dutch and German researchers would "rediscover" Mendel's work in 1900.

Remarkably, Charles Darwin did not seem aware of Mendel's writings when he presented his own theories.
