En föreställning som gör anspråk på

En föreställning som gör anspråk på att vara vetenskaplig men som inte har kunnat beläggas med observationer och experiment kallas pseudovetenskap. Denna kan vara harmlös, men ibland kan den leda till allvarliga konsekvenser. Det senare gällde den ärftlighetslära som Trofim Lysenko spred i det forna Sovjetunionen. Lysenko hävdade att man kunde ”träna” människan och andra arter till att utveckla bestämda egenskaper som sedan gick i arv. Man skulle t.ex. kunna odla potatis och vete i ett kallare klimat än tidigare, om bara växterna tränades till detta i ett antal generationer. Lysenko fick anhängare i Sovjetunionens politiska elit och därmed stor makt. Hans forskning granskades inte vetenskapligt och kritiskt. Istället avbröts seriös ärftlighetsforskning i Sovjetunionen. Detta ledde till ett utslaget jordbruk och till fattigdom på grund av missväxt.

Ett annat pseudovetenskapligt påstående är att människan kan delas in i raser och att vissa av dessa kan betraktas som överlägsna. Propaganda för denna uppfattning ledde till massavrättningar i bl.a. Tyskland under andra världskriget. De som förr delade in människor i raser utgick ofta från kulturella eller sociala indelningar och hävdade att dessa var biologiska. Detta var naturligtvis fel och ovetenskapligt med tanke på att alla människor på jorden är genetiskt sett väldigt lika.

A show that claims to be scientific but which has not been subject to observations and experiments are called pseudoscience. This can be harmless, but sometimes it can lead to serious consequences. The latter concerned the doctrine of heredity that Trofim Lysenko was spreading in the former Soviet Union. Lysenko claimed that it could "work out" man and other species to develop certain characteristics which then went down. We could, for example. able to cultivate potatoes and wheat in a colder climate than in the past, if only the plants were trained in a number of generations. Lysenko had supporters in the Soviet political elite and thus power. His research was reviewed not scientifically and critically. Instead suspended serious heredity research in the Soviet Union. This led to a ruling agriculture and to poverty because of crop failures.Another claim is that pseudovetenskapligt man can be divided into races, and that some of these can be considered as superior. Propaganda of this perception led to mass executions. Germany during World War II. The formerly divided people into races often emanated from cultural or social divisions and claimed that these were biological. This was of course wrong and unscientific given that all humans on earth are genetically very similar.

A performance that claims to be scientific but which have not been substantiated by observations and experiments called pseudoscience. This can be harmless, but sometimes it can lead to serious consequences. The latter applied to the genetics that Trofim Lysenko spread in the former Soviet Union. Lysenko claimed that they could "train" humans and other species to develop certain qualities that were inherited. It would for example able to grow potatoes and wheat in a colder climate than in the past, if only the plants were trained for this in a number of generations. Lysenko gained followers in the Soviet Union's political elite and thus great power. His research examines not scientific and critical. Instead discontinued serious genetic research in the USSR. This led to a rash agriculture and poverty because of crop failure.

Another pseudo-scientific claim is that human beings can be divided into races and that some of these can be regarded as superior. Applying this view led to mass executions in eg Germany during World War II. The formerly divided people into races often emanated from the cultural or social divisions, claiming that these were biological. This was obviously wrong and unscientific given that all the people on earth are genetically very similar.

a performance that claims to be scientific but which has not been subject to the observations and experiments known as pseudoscience. this may be harmless, but sometimes it may lead to serious consequences. the latter was the ärftlighetslära as trofim lysenko began in the former soviet union. lysenko claimed that it could "train" the human and other species to develop certain properties then went in succession. we could, for example, growing potatoes and wheat in a colder climate than in the past, if only the plants was trained to do this in a number of generations. lysenko had supporters in the ussr, and therefore of great power. his research has not been examined scientifically and critically. instead ärftlighetsforskning was serious in the soviet union. this led to a rash of agriculture and poverty because of crop failures.another subject her illness to this pseudoscientific claims is that human beings can be divided into the races and that some of these can be regarded as superior. propaganda for this view led to the mass executions in germany during the second world war. those who used to share in the people of races were often from cultural or social divisions and claimed that these were biological. this was, of course, wrong and unscientific, given that all the people on earth are genetically very similar.
