Our ancestors knew about the inheritance of characters and variations because-

1. They selectively breed plants and animals and selected for organisms that possessed desirable characters.

2. They introduced mutations

3. They performed natural hybridisation

Mendel's work on Pisum sativum shows that 
1.  Alleles show blending inheritance 
2. Equal proportion of F₁ resembled either of the two parents
3.  In a dissimilar pair of factors, members of the pair are codominant
4.  Genotype of F2 tall plant can be determined by cross with recessive parent
