美国著名遗传学家H.J.穆勒是20世纪二三十年代西方同情并支持社会主义的最重要的左派科学家之一。他曾去苏联进行科学研究,为了保护苏联遗传学,以列宁哲学的名义批判了苏联生物学界弥漫的拉马克主义。他亲历了斯大林对遗传学的迫害和李森科的崛起,并与之进行了英勇的斗争。后来,他多次揭露李森科主义的荒谬及斯大林极权主义对科学的迫害,呼吁人们要珍视科学的思想,保护人们自由思考和科学自主探究的权利。
H.J. Muller, a famous American geneticist, was one of the most important leftists who sympathized and supported socialism in the 1920s and 1930s. He went to the Soviet Union for scientific research and, in the name of Lenin’s philosophy, criticized the pervasive Lamarckism of Soviet biology in order to protect Soviet genetics. He witnessed Stalin’s persecution of genetics and the rise of Lysenko, and fought heroically with it. Later, he repeatedly exposed the ridiculousness of Lysenkoism and the persecution of science by Stalin’s totalitarianism, and urged people to cherish the scientific thinking and protect people’s right to free thinking and scientific inquiry.
