In darwin's day, most people believed that the characteristics of offspring are an average of their parent's characteristics. this concept is called blending inheritance.
One popular theory at the time was "blending inheritance" which proposed that offspring were merely an average between the two different characteristics of their parents. But, as Darwin soon realized, blending inheritance (which he called "pangenesis") had its problems.
