Lysenko is being absolved by recent discoveries on the epigenetic field.

He was a Lemarckist. That’s not being absolved whatsoever. Even if small parts of his ideology (yes, ideology, not science) were shown to be true, that wouldn’t change the fact that Lysenko’s views were still stained by anti-scientific ideas with no backing in reality like the aforementioned Lemarckian views.

Oh for real? As someone who once was studying evolutionary biology in college a lifetime ago this is interesting. Got any links?
