Do We Understand Heredity and Evolution? No

2025-11-18

Abstract excerpt

Genetics has long been regarded as the cornerstone of biology—explaining how life reproduces, evolves, and sustains human health. Mendelism, including Johannsen’s 1911 genotype conception, which posits that ‘genes are the units of heredity’, supplanted Galton’s earlier phenotype-based statistical law of ancestral heredity. Yet, this shift was not the result of decisive empirical validation. Evidence accumulated o...
