The nature/nurture debate is not dead. Dichotomous views of
development still underlie many fundamental debates in the
biological and social sciences. Developmental systems theory (DST)
offers a new conceptual framework with which to resolve such
debates. DST views ontogeny as contingent cycles of interaction
among a varied set of developmental resources, no one of which
controls the process. These factors include DNA, cellular and
organismic structure, and social and ecological interactions. DST
has excited interest from a wide range of researchers, from
molecular biologists to anthropologists, because of its ability to
integrate evolutionary theory and other disciplines without falling
into traditional oppositions.The book provides historical
background to DST, recent theoretical findings on the mechanisms of
heredity, applications of the DST framework to behavioral
development, implications of DST for the philosophy of biology, and
critical reactions to DST.
