snippets: Darwin knew nothing of Mendel. That has been rather well established. Remember, Mendel's work was really not well known and accepted until about 1900., To be clear: the use of "genetic connection" in Darwin's time meant simply an ancestral connection, related to the word generation, from the same Greek word we get "Genesis" from. It was not used in the sense of "genes" as we talk about them as pieces of DNA, or even Mendelian genetics.
