The Disgraceful Episode Of Lysenkoism Brings Us Global Warming Theory | Somewhat Reasonable

The Disgraceful Episode Of Lysenkoism Brings Us Global Warming Theory | Somewhat Reasonable:
"Trofim Lysenko became the Director of the Soviet Lenin All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the 1930s under Josef Stalin. 
He was an advocate of the theory that characteristics acquired by plants during their lives could be inherited by later generations stemming from the changed plants, which sharply contradicted Mendelian genetics. 
As a result, Lysenko became a fierce critic of theories of the then rising modern genetics."
