Gregor Mendel 1822 - 1884
Clarence McClung shows that female mammals have
two X chromosomes and males have one X and one Y.
Walter Sutton states that chromosomes are paired
and may be the carriers of heredity.

1902 AD
Higo Marie DeVries, Karl Franz Joseph Correns and
Erich Tschermat von Seysenegg rediscover Gregor
Mendel's work on genetics, which has been ignored
for 40 years. They each rediscover his laws for
themselves, search the literature and when they
find Mendels work they each, in a very unselfish
gesture, give Mendel the credit.
