indeed, that was Mendel, I remember his work, but his name escaped me.

ALS was very helpful and linked me to some articles, and a quick refresher is what I needed.

And the theory of evolution is normally given to Darwin, but the actual theory of evolution comes from a great number of scientists, Mendel's work being part of that.

Interesting reading though, I just wish that I didn't have to inherit my mothers fathers baldness, I would much rather have gotten my fathers fathers hair, he was 1/2 American Indian, and had the blackest hair you ever saw in your life, it was beautiful. I remember as a child playing with it, it just fascinated me, my black friends had black hair, but it was coarse, my grandfathers was silky smooth.

In the latter half of his life, instead of turning gray, it turned white, it was just so sophisticated looking, not quite sure how to explain it.

Accept for the fact he had a full head of hair to the day that he died, and I wish that I had a full head of hair, and I wish it were black like that. Then I could actually look forward to it turning white, instead of slowly crawling up my forehead.

Nonsense. Mendel showed quite well how unscientific the Theory of Evolution was, he showed that Darwin did not know beans and that his theory of 'melding' of traits was absolute nonsense. It took evolutionists decades to recover from it through plenty of wishful thinking and rhetoric. But in the end and with what we have learned since the discovery of DNA, the genetics problem totally disproves evolution.
