Prologue

1 Alas, it was never sent. It is preserved among Darlington's documents at the Department of Western manuscripts, Bodleian Library, Oxford (UK), (hereafter-Darlington Papers), C. 98. H. 52. Unfortunately, I was unable to identify three of the fourteen signatories.
2 A comprehensive bibliography of publications in the history of genetics would include several thousand works. A simple search with the keyword “genetics” in the Eureka database for the history of science, technology, and medicine produces more than 2,500 references, and this database is far from complete.
3 Compare, for instance, Leslie C. Dunn, A Short History of Genetics: The Development of Some of the Main Lines of Thought, 1864-1939, New York: McGraw-Hill, 1965; and Jonathan Harwood, “National styles in science: Genetics in Germany and the United States between the World Wars, ” Isis, 1987, vol. 78, 390-414; also, idem., Styles of Scientific Thought: German Genetics Community, 1900-1933, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1993.
4 For instance, only recently, the role of international congresses in setting certain agendas of genetic research has been explored by Robert H. Haynes, “Heritable variations and mutagenesis at early international congresses of genetics, ” Genetics, 1998, vol. 148, 1419-31.
5 On Mendel and the rediscovery of his laws, see an excellent work of Jan Sapp, “The nine lives of Gregor Mendel, ” in H. E. Le Grand (ed.) Experimental Inquiries, Dordreht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1990, pp. 137-166.
6 On this production system, see, for instance, Robert Kohler, Lords of the Fly, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1994; and Karen A. Rader, “Of mice, medicine, and
