About Lucien Cuénot

  • Lucien Claude Marie Julien Cuénot (French: [keno]; 21 October 1866 – 7 January 1951) was a French biologist.
  • In the first half of the 20th century, Mendelism was not a popular subject among French biologists.
  • Cuénot defied popular opinion and shirked the “pseudo-sciences” as he called them.
  • Upon the rediscovery of Mendel's work by Correns, De Vries, and Tschermak, Cuénot proved that Mendelism applied to animals as well as plants.
