This is a very long but interesting article on the legend of Mendel that was written in 1990.
It includes some history of the struggles over evolutionary biology beginning in the 20th century and into the modern era (1990 anyway). It should be in the list o' links.
Given that Mendel published so rarely, it's difficult to know what he really thought of Darwin's work.

Very interesting article. Thanks. I've given little thought to Mendel, actually, although I'm certainly aware of his work. I don't know it it belongs in
The List-O-Links, because I've included virtually nothing on genetics. It's not really controversial.

Thanks for that link. MendelWeb is a great resource and I'd read that paper a few years ago. I should read it again. To creationists, Mendel is a stumbling block. They're generally stunned to find out he was an evolutionist.
