Mendel's work was rejected at first, and it was not widely accepted until after he died. The common belief at the time was that Darwin's theory of pangenes were responsible for inheritance. About 20 years after his death, his work was rediscovered by Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns, and Erich von Tschermak

What has caused the theory of natural selection to change over time?

Better evidence, especially from genetics. When Charles Darwin first proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection his mechanism of heredity was dead wrong. He posited a blending type of heredity. When Gregor Mendel's work was rediscovered in about 1900 particulate inheritance was brought to the forefront of evolutionary thinking and the synthesis of the 1930's and '40's cooperated this thinking with Darwinian though to give us modern evolutionary theory.
