I've read alternative accounts of the debate which relate that he basically won, and sociobiology is the default viewpoint of science now. Could you share some hard science evidence leading you to describe his views as questionable at best?
I wonder if it's because your description of his beliefs is quite strong - i.e. you say "a very large fraction of human behavior is genetically determined" when another might say "most human behavior is heavily influenced by evolutionary instincts", which seems more more palatable? i.e. the quote I linked above - that we should strive to spite and overcome our incorrect, evolutionarily engineered instincts?
