Carl Correns
Carl Correns (1864-1933) was a German botanist who in 1914 or 1915 became director of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut for Biology in Berlin. Correns is one of three men - see also Hugo de Vries and Erich von Tschermak - who, in 1900, independently re-discovered Gregor Mendel's work on genetics. Correns published his first paper that year, which cited both Charles Darwin and Mendel, though without fully recognising the relevance of genetics to Darwin's ideas, on January 25th, 1900.
