Systems Thinking Versus Population Thinking: Genotype Integration and Chromosomal Organization 1930s-1950s.

Journal of the history of biology - 1 Nov 2015

Lamm Ehud

Abstract excerpt

This article describes how empirical discoveries in the 1930s-1950s regarding population variation for chromosomal inversions affected Theodosius Dobzhansky and Richard Goldschmidt. A significant fraction of the empirical work I discuss was done by Dobzhansky and his coworkers; Goldschmidt was an astute interpreter, with strong and unusual commitments. I argue that both belong to a mechanistic tradition in...
