The usual account is that when Mendel gave his paper, no one understood what he said and there were no questions and no discussion. Examination of available evidence indicates that this is not true. Also, it is usually said that Mendel's paper was lost or ignored from 1866 to 1900. This is not true either. However, with the possible exception of one person, none of those citing the paper showed any interest in or understanding of Mendel's explanations of his results.
通常的说法是,当孟德尔发表他的论文时,没有人理解他所说的内容,没有提问,也没有讨论。对现有证据的审查表明这并非事实。此外,人们通常还说,从1866年到1900年,孟德尔的论文被遗失或忽视了。这也不是事实。然而,除了一个人可能例外,引用该论文的人没有一个对孟德尔对其结果的解释表现出任何兴趣或理解。
