It isn't like Lysenkoism it is Lysenkoism. Despite all evidence to the contrary, people want to believe that intelligence isn't heritable, that all humans minds are blank slates and all differences in preferences and intelligence amongst humans are caused by environmental effects. Apparently, natural selection and sexual dimorphism stop above the neck. Our inability to stomach ugly truths is quite impressive. Darwin won the body, Lysenko the mind.
