With the advent of the Human Genome Project there have been many claims for the genetic origins of complex human behavior including insanity, criminality, and intelligence. But what does it really mean to call something 'genetic'? This is the fundamental question that Sahotra Sarkar's book addresses. The author analyses the nature of reductionism in classical and molecular genetics. He shows that there are two radically different kinds of reductionist explanation: genetic reduction (as found in classical genetics) and physical reduction (found in molecular genetics). This important book clarifies the meaning of the term 'genetic', shows how molecular studies have affected genetics, and provides the philosophical background necessary to understand the debates over the Human Genome Project. It will be of particular interest to professionals and students in the philosophy of science, the history of science, and the social studies of science, medicine, and technology.

Au péril de la science ? « Notre société oscille entre la sciençolatrie et la sciençophobie. Source de toutes les justifications et de tous les espoirs pour certains, la science est, pour d'autres ou pour les mêmes, à la racine de toutes les erreurs et de tous les dangers. A l'opposé de l'accumulation de réponses et de certitudes qu'y voit l'opinion, l'activité scientifique est pourtant, ou devrait être, entreprise de doute et de mise en question. » Solidement appuyé sur sa discipline, la génétique, A. Jacquard lutte contre les graves incompréhensions et les déformations intéressées de l'image publique de la science. Il met en lumière les pièges dont la science est le ressort, les interrogations dont elle est l'occasion et les ruptures dont elle est l'enjeu. Par ce double appel à la vigilance et à l'audace, « il s'agit d'inverser la course à l'abîme où le progrès scientifique sert de moteur ».

This book uses the reaction of a number of biologists in the United States and Great Britain to provide an overview of one of the most important controversies in Twentieth Century biology, the “Lysenko Affair.” The book is written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of history/history of science. It covers a number of topics which are relevant to understanding the sources and dimensions of the Lysenko controversy, including the interwar eugenics movement, the Scopes Trial, the popularity of Lamarckism as a theory of heredity prior to the synthesis of genetics and Natural Selection, and the Cold War. The book focuses particularly on portrayals—both positive and negative—of Lysenko in the popular press in the U.S. and Europe, and thus by extension the relationship between scientists and society. Because the Lysenko controversy attracted a high level of interest among the lay community, it constitutes a useful historical example to consider in context with current topics that have received a similar level of attention, such as Intelligent Design or Climate Change.
