Clustering humans: on biological boundaries.

Studies in history and philosophy of biological and biomedical sciences - 1 Mar 2008

Lorusso Ludovica, Boniolo Giovanni

Abstract excerpt

We inquire into the notions of 'boundary' and 'cluster' in the fields of medical genetics, pharmacogenetics, and population genetics. First we show that the two notions are not well discussed in literature. Then we propose a promising explication of them, in which we argue that clustering is alwa...
