Panpsychic organicism: Sewall Wright's philosophy for understanding complex genetic systems.

Journal of the history of biology - 1 Jan 2007

Steffes David M

Abstract excerpt

Sewall Wright first encountered the complex systems characteristic of gene combinations while a graduate student at Harvard's Bussey Institute from 1912 to 1915. In Mendelian breeding experiments, Wright observed a hierarchical dependence of the organism's phenotype on dynamic networks of genetic interaction and organization. An animal's physical traits, and thus its autonomy from surrounding environmental...
