=== Soviet Union, Lysenkoism and famine ===
[[Image:Lysenko.jpg|right|thumbnail|150px|[[Trofim Denisovich Lysenko]] was the father of Lysenkoism. ]]
''See also:'' [[Lysenkoism]]]]
[[Lysenkoism]] was an extension of [[Lamarck|Lamarckian evolution]] which was espoused by the [[Soviet]] geneticist [[Trofim Denisovich Lysenko|Trofim Lysenko]] in the early 20th century, and an excellent example of politically-motivated [[deceit]] used to 'prove' an ideologically-based theory. Geneticists and biologists in general who disagreed with Lysenkoism lost their positions
In addition, many [[genetics|geneticists]] were imprisoned and executed for their ''bourgeois science'', and agricultural policies based on Lysenkoism that were adopted under the Communist leaders [[Joseph Stalin]] and [[Mao Zedong]] caused famines and the death of millions.<ref>http://www.bookrags.com/research/lysenkoism-wog/</ref>
Lysenkoism adopted Lamarck's idea of "acquired characteristics," which states that the traits an [[organism]] develops during its life are passed on to their descendants.
The theory was given enormous political support in the Soviet Union from the late 1930s until the 1950s.
