(iii) Lack of aggressiveness in his personality,
(iv) The scientific world was being rocked at that time by Darwin’s theory of evolution (Origin of Species, 1859).
(v) Mendel’s concept of stable, un-blending, discrete units or factors for various traits did not find acceptance from the contemporaries,
