The Particular Case of Genetic ReductionismGenetic reductionists pick a particular level of scientific
explanation, that of the functioning of genes, and downplay the claims of
higher-level descriptions. This is a vastly tempting reduction, because we understand, in principle at least, a great deal about genes and how they function. We understand far less about organisms, how they grow and develop, what determines their behaviour.
