Abstract
Historiographical analyses of the development of genetics in the first decade of the 20th century have been to a
great extent framed in the context of the Mendelian-Biometrician controversy. Much has been discussed on the
nature, origin, development, and legacy of the controversy. However, such a framework is becoming less useful and fruitful. This paper challenges the traditional historiography framed by the Mendelian-Biometrician distinction. It argues that the Mendelian-Biometrician distinction fails to reflect the theoretical and methodological diversity in the controversy. It also argues that the Mendelian-Biometrician distinction is not helpful to make a full understanding of the development of genetics in the first decade of the twentieth century.
