[edit] Expansion

The current version of this page is what we would call in the field the "scientist's view of history" -- teleological, Whig history, etc. For those looking to expand this, I highly recommend Peter J. Bowler's, The Mendelian Revolution, which does a much better job at explaining the history of genetics in a non-teleological sense. Very accessible book, written for non-specialists by a well-respected historian of biology. --Fastfission 17:48, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
