The Life Organic (eBook, ePUB)

The Theoretical Biology Club and the Roots of Epigenetics

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book tells the forgotten story of the pursuit of a Third Way in biology, known by many names, including "the organic philosophy"including the scientists who defined and refined it and its persistence into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It considers the creation of the subfield of epigenetics, a product of Third Way thinking, rooted among a group of scholars known as the Theoretical Biology Club. And it raises significant questions about how we should model the development of the discipline of biology.
