Genètica avui, etologia demà

Resum

Genetics today, ethology tomorrow: Neurobiology of the future
The History of Science has witnessed few cases in which the confrontation of two concepts has stirred up such passion as the issue of «genes and behaviour». Perhaps this is because, often, confrontation is interpreted as if it were, in reality, between
«determinism and randomness». Even when this interpretation is wrongly rooted, its emotional effects in any ambit of discussion tend to abort any attempt to apply a rational method to the topic. Although we are aware of this reality, we will try to do so once more.
