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. 410 0$aCambridge introductions to philosophy and biology. 517 3 $aGenetics & Philosophy 606 $aGenes 606 $aGenomics 606 $aGenetics$xPhilosophy 606 $aDevelopmental genetics 615 0$aGenes. 615 0$aGenomics. 615 0$aGenetics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aDevelopmental genetics. 676 $a572.8/6 686 $aSCI075000$2bisacsh 700 $aGriffiths$b Paul$f1962-$01723977 702 $aStotz$b Karola 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821241403321 996 $aGenetics and philosophy$94125678 997 $aUNINA
