You're not only rude, you're an IDIOT.

Lysenkoism was a campaign against genetics and geneticists which happened in the Soviet Union from the middle of the 1930s to the middle of the 1960s, centered around the figure of Trofim Denisovich Lysenko. In a broader context, Lysenkoism is often invoked to imply the overt subversion of science by political forces.

Who CARES what theories Lysenko invoked to put his idiocy forth? It is about the environment as key, and the minimization of genetics. The same goes for Gould, and, evidently, you.

Lysenkoism is not the nature/nurture debate, even making allowance for people like you whose useages are so loose their brains fell out years ago.

So, thus far, you opened with the false announcement that the lead article repudiates Gould and Lewontin. As it does not, you were either mistaken or lying.

No acknowledgement, you simply shifted the discussion. Nothing you've said since then makes you look any more credible.
