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. His works on pea plants, published in 1866, provided the initial evidence that, on its rediscovery in 1900's, helped to establish ...
t. e. On the Origin of Species (or, more completely, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life) [ 3 ] is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin that is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. It was published on 24 November 1859. [ 4 ]
GN281 .W44 2003. The Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey is a 2002 book by Spencer Wells, an American geneticist and anthropologist, in which he uses techniques and theories of genetics and evolutionary biology to trace the geographical dispersal of early human migrations out of Africa. The book was made into a TV documentary in 2003.
Multiregional origin of modern humans. The multiregional hypothesis, multiregional evolution (MRE), or polycentric hypothesis, is a scientific model that provides an alternative explanation to the more widely accepted "Out of Africa" model of monogenesis for the pattern of human evolution. Multiregional evolution holds that the human species ...

Reginald Punnett. Reginald Crundall Punnett FRS (/ ˈpʌnɪt /; 20 June 1875 – 3 January 1967) [1][2][3][4][5] was a British geneticist who co-founded, with William Bateson, the Journal of Genetics in 1910.

The history of geneticscan be represented on a timeline of events from the earliest work in the 1850s, to the DNAera starting in the 1940s, and the genomicsera beginning in the 1970s. Early timeline.
