title = "Exemplarising the Origin of Genetics",
abstract = "Understanding the origin of genetics has been a persistent problem in the history and philosophy of biology: Is Mendel the founder of genetics? If so, in what sense? What was Mendel{\textquoteright}s contribution to the origin of genetics? What role did Mendel{\textquoteright}s work play in the “rediscovery” in 1900? What was the contribution made by the “rediscoverers” to the origin of genetics? What is a best way to analyse and interpret the origin of genetics, from a philosophical point of view? This chapter provides a new philosophical account of the early development of genetics. I begin with a critical review of the theory-based analyses of the origin of genetics. Then inspired by the Kuhnian analyses, I develop an exemplar-based account of the origin of genetics based on a new interpretation of exemplar.",
