In my opinion, he did bring us the ideas. He compiled all his studies and published "Experiments in Plant Hybridization" in 1865. The world just wasn't ready yet to hear what he had to say. Perhaps the conclusion we can draw is that some of us DO change the world but we may not live to see the full extent of that impact?
