David Buss, in his book "Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind," states that Mendel's work had little or no influence on Darwin's thinking. It is well-established that Darwin developed his theory of evolution through natural selection based on his observations of variation and adaptation in the natural world, rather than through mathematical analysis. Mendel's work on genetics, while important in its own right, came well after Darwin's death and had no direct impact on his ideas about evolution.
