   Darwin did not understand Mendel's work, which was true of most   
   naturalists of Darwin's day.  Why is this hard to comprehend?!  In fact,   
   it was not until Ronald Fisher came on the scene that the Neo-Darwinian   
   synthesis was born (that "combines Mendelian genetics with Charles   
   Darwin's theory of natural selection"):
