DownloadImagine it’s 1935, and you’re a Soviet agronomist.
Not just any agronomist, though.
You’re the founder and head of the
Lenin All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
And among your many accomplishments,
your research had led you to propose that certain crops…
like the rye that helped feed your fellow comrades…
were basically an accident. Humans didn’t domesticate them.
Thanks to evolution, they domesticated themselves.
Oh, and your reward for all your hard work? You just lost your job.
One of your academic rivals has the ear of Joseph Stalin,
and neither of them believe biology works the way you do.
You are Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov.
And the next eight years of your life do not get better.
But decades after your death,
scientists totally got your back, and proved you were right.
