"The history of science is replete with untold stories and this book is one of these
accounts. The author shares a narrative of heredity, an active topic of inquiry long
before Johann Gregor Mendel - the father of genetics - planted his peas. One such
interlude unfolded in Mendel's home city Brno and involved the sheep breeder, Imre
Festetics from Kőszeg, Hungary. He sought to improve wool and proposed important
rules of heredity. Unfortunately, aspects of wool quality, now known to be polygenic,
complicate interpretations of the work of Festetics and explain why it is neglected.
The forebearers of Mendel never get the credit they deserve. Heredity Before Mendel
resurrects Festetics, the grandfather of heredity"
