The Concept of the Gene in Development and Evolution: Historical and Epistemological Perspectives - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
Advances in molecular biological research in the latter half of the twentieth century have made the story of the gene vastly complicated: the more we learn about genes, the less sure we are of what a gene really is. Knowledge about the structure and functioning of genes abounds, but the gene has also become curiously intangible. This collection of essays renews the question: what are genes? Philosophers, historians and working scientists re-evaluate the question in this volume, treating the gene as a focal point of interdisciplinary and international research. It will be of interest to professionals and students in the philosophy and history of science, genetics and molecular biology.

Etat : Gut. XVI; 384 S.; 23,5 cm. Gutes Ex.; Umschl. etwas berieben u. mit Aufkleber "Ansichtsexemplar". - Englisch. - . Philosophers, historians, and working scientists approach the issue from a variety of perspectives. This volume provides evidence of the diversity of scientific disciplines that presently have a stake in the quest for the gene. The essays collected here offer challenging perspectives on some of the most fundamental concepts of twentieth-century biology. Conceptual perspectives about the gene as it is presently known provide the substance of three contributions. The examination of pre-Darwinian heredity concepts, Goldschmidt's demission of the gene, and Seymour Benzer's work on the fine structure of the gene are also explored. A critique of the "genetic program" is presented as well as modern findings about the functioning of "master genes" during embryogenesis. In the final essay, Raphael Falk reviews the material laid out in this volume and lucidly summarizes the primary themes. . (Vorwort) // INHALT : Introduction ---- List of Authors : ---- PART ONE.
