Science Corner: The Skinny on Genes

September 4, 2019 by Andy Walsh No Comments

Biology is not fully reducible to genetics, and behavior is not fully reducible to biology. I’ve found myself using that adage more often in conversation, so I thought perhaps it would be helpful to mention and unpack here. As far as I know, that particular phrasing is mine, but the sentiment I believe is fairly […]

To what extent is sexual […]
