Rezension

From the reviews:


"This ambitious book aims to survey the influence of genetics and molecular biology on contemporary thought quite generally. [...] Highlights of the first section include an excellent introduction to what genetics has taught us about human origins by Francisco Ayala and his group of Spanish collaborators. [...] The section devoted to philosophy of science is particularly strong."

Paul Griffiths, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia in
Metascience


"Organized in three main sections: ‘Genetics and the Life Sciences’; ‘Genetics and the Philosophy of Science: The Reductionism Debate and Beyond’; and ‘Genetics and the Ethical, Legal and Sociological Debate’, these contributions are more informative about what other disciplines have to say about genetics … . those who keep reading will be rewarded. When judged upon their merit as stand-alone pieces … the chapters are highly stimulating." (Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy, Vol. 11 (3), 2008)
