In the past century, nearly all of the biological sciences have
been directly affected by discoveries and developments in genetics,
a fast-evolving subject with important theoretical dimensions. In
this rich and accessible book, Paul Griffiths and Karola Stotz show
how the concept of the gene has evolved and diversified across the
many fields that make up modern biology. By examining the molecular
biology of the 'environment', they situate genetics in the
developmental biology of whole organisms, and reveal how the
molecular biosciences have undermined the nature/nurture
distinction. Their discussion gives full weight to the
revolutionary impacts of molecular biology, while rejecting
'genocentrism' and 'reductionism', and brings the topic right up to
date with the philosophical implications of the most recent
developments in genetics. Their book will be invaluable for those
studying the philosophy of biology, genetics and other life
sciences.
