In Japan, evolutionism became popular towards the end of nineteenth century. Mendelism became popular around 1920. Mendelian genetics has become one of the important branches of Japanese biology. But evolutionism did not become an academic subject among Japanese biological researchers. Popularization of Mendelism had not changed this state of evoutionism in Japan. In this report I will describe mainly the state of evolutionism in Japan untill the 1920s, and comment briefly on the state of evolutionism arter that.
