- W1812104119 abstract "In 1989, Peter J. Bowler called the Mendelian revolution a revolution of major conceptual proportions. It was one which, he said, might ultimately even have to be regarded as at least as important a transformation in our ideas about life as ‘the Darwinian debate’, even though its effects are not as immediately visible as those of that debate. The genetic revolution has, indeed, like other major scientific revolutions, been accompanied by an important paradigm shift. The main reason why, in sharp contrast to those other revolutions, it is still not identified with that profound change in our thinking, is simple: the full effects of the genetic paradigm shift indeed only became clearly visible long after it started in the 19th century. The new, genecentric interpretation of life was, to be precise, explicitated and, to a certain extent, elaborated in 1976, in the second most popular science book of the 20th century: The Selfish Gene. It revolves around the simple but profound and radical idea that somas are mere survival machines of genes. This doctoral thesis not only charts the genecentric paradigm shift, but also explains why the new interpretation of life was only explicitated in 1976. Last but not least, it argues that a reinterpretation of the history of genetics in terms of this paradigm shift is heuristically interesting in that it sheds new and clarifying light on a large number of historical and contemporary issues, ranging from Gregor Mendel’s experiments and their ‘rediscovery’ in 1900, Lamarckism, Darwin’s theory of evolution and the nature/nurture debate, to the discovery of DNA, the emotion revolution and the selfish gene theory itself. Some long-debated, profound questions will never be resolved, as long as we don’t learn to think about the genetic revolution in terms of the genecentric paradigm shift that made it possible." @default.
