Niche construction in biological and philosophical theories
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (1):153-154 (2000)
Abstract
I distinguish different versions of the “niche construction” idea. Some are primarily scientific, while others are more philosophical. Laland, Odling-Smee & Feldman's is mostly scientific, but given that fact, there are some changes they could make to their account. I also compare the target article to Lewontin's classic 1983 paper.Author's Profile
