Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. 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. This volume documents how the molecular biosciences have outgrown the nature/nurture distinction, and situates genetics in the context of the developmental biology of whole organisms. For those studying the philosophy of biology, genetics, and other life sciences. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
