Rose was part of a group including Richard Lewonotin who tried to merge the "new" Marxism with Darwinian theory. Unlike Lysenko, they weren't recognized for perpetuating pseudoscience, but their influence has been just as damaging, both to biology itself, and to the reputation and understanding of evolution among lay people.

...but like Lysenko, they advocated free will within the overall "historical inevitability" framework. IOW, like their Nazi brethren, they eschew a coherent ideology.
