Charles Chamberlain Hurst

William Bateson was credited as the scientist who first brought Mendel’s theories to the English speaking world, and the coiner of the term 'genetics'.

This was very much in tune with William Bateson's own beliefs, and Bateson's views on this topic were revered by many other geneticists worldwide, including Theodosius Dobzhansky.

Bateson and Hurst collaborated in the battle against the biometricians Karl Pearson and Walter Frank Raphael Weldon, with Hurst generating much data from experimental crosses of different plant varieties and animal color variants, including chickens, horses, and man.
