The history of genetics dates from the classical era with contributions by Pythagoras, Hippocrates, Aristotle, Epicurus, and others. Modern genetics began with the work of the Augustinian friar Gregor Johann Mendel .
He introduced his hypothesis at the Eighth International Congress of Genetics held in 1948 at Stockholm on a topic "The Rate of Mutation of Human Genes". [93] He proposed that genetic disorders in humans living in malaria-endemic regions provided a condition that makes them relatively immune to malarial infections. He formalised the concept in ...
