Genetics in Context - A Comparative Timeline

Genetics in Context offers a dual timeline, with scientific events (especially those relevant to classical genetics) presented against those of general historical and cultural interest. Dynamic links are provided to relevant documents at the ESP site and elsewhere. The timeline contains a big HTML file, so give it time to load.

This is a new feature, intended to help readers place genetic events in historical context. For example, did you know that Darwin published Origin of Species the year before Lincoln was elected President, while Mendel published his findings the year after Lincoln was assassinated? Check out these and other events in Genetics in Context.
