Is it a revolution?
Biology and Philosophy 22 (3):429-437 (2007)
Abstract
Jablonka and Lamb's claim that evolutionary biology is undergoing a ‘revolution’ is queried. But the very concept of revolutionary change has uncertain application to a field organized in the manner of contemporary biology. The explanatory primacy of sequence properties is also discussed.Author's Profile
