摘　　要：G.孟德尔在他的实验中证明:在杂交的情况下隐性性状保存在杂种后代中,并没有消失。这一发现对进化论发展有着巨大意义。当詹金给达尔文的自然选择观点设置重大障碍时,它支持了达尔文学说。如果达尔文知道孟德尔对于遗传研完(后来被称作遗传学)的科学贡献,那么进化思想发展的历史将是另一种情景。G. J. Mendel (1822—1884) proved in his experiments that under hybridization the recessive character is retained in the offspring, not obliterated. This discovery is of great significance to the development of the theory of evolution. It serves to support Darwinism when F. Jenkin (1833—1885) placed an obstinate obstacle upon Darwin's view about natural selection. If Darwin (1809—1882) had known of Mendel's contribtution to the study of heredity(later called genetics), the history of evolutionary ideas would have been quite different.
