The blending of genetic traits with sexual reproduction would have falsified evolutionary theory.

When Darwin first started his work on evolutionary theory, he was afraid that rather than being atomary, genetic traits would blend over time. This would make it impossible for a specific trait to remain unchanged for any length of time, and therefore impossible for natural selection to favour it in any significant way.

Fortunately, Mendel's contemporary work showed that genetic traits *are* atomary, and do not blend with reproduction. Unfortunately for Darwin, he went to his grave without ever learning about this. His evolutionary theory was only modified to include Mendel's work more than half a century after his death.
