SOCIOBIO BACKLASH

No backlash? Such a claim evinces a penchant for historical revisionism.

In the days of the controversy over sociobiology, there were marches on
campus by protestors, administrative meetings, and a lively debate between
opponents and supporters filling dozens of school newspapers, books, and
journal articles. Academic heads opposed its organization at class and
group level, while feminists dressed it up as machismo in new garb. When
you slander and deny an honest inquiry into science and human nature, I'd
call that suppression.
