Marxism and the New Materialism
Richard Lewontin (1929-2021)
Richard Lewontin would have laughed out loud if someone had referred to him as a postmodernist. But his role in late twentieth-early twenty-first century evolutionary biology was precisely that: di
The Divisive Gene
Despite its grip on the scientific culture of affluent societies, the reign of the gene as the supposed "secret of life" is coming to an end. The more we learn about natural systems the clearer it becomes that genes are only one class of factors influencing phenotypic development and evolution.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
Developing Scaffolds in Evolution, Culture, and Cognition
The Demise of the Gene
The gene is losing its luster as a biological explanatory principle, but those who stand to profit from its supremacy are promoting it harder than ever. It is nearly 70 years since the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Erwin Schrodinger wrote: ‘‘The chromosome structures are . . . instrumental in bringing about the development they foreshadow. They are code law and executive power, or to use another simile, they are the architect’s plan and the build…
Synthetic Biology
The Transhumanism Bubble
Genetically Modified Foods and the Attack on Nature
Managing health care under New Public Management
The drive to reform the public health care system became a common feature of Australia's political and economic landscape from the early 1980s. Health care reform in Australia has been underpinned by New Public Management (NPM) which was promoted as providing more transparent policy and empowering managers to manage service delivery. However, these claims are a fallacy and nursing and nursing care have been affected adversely and severely. Genera…
Evolution
Nature, Progress and Stephen Jay Gould’s Biopolitics
Genetic manipulation promises to introduce biological novelties to the ecosphere, the dinner plate, and the schoolroom. Is there an appropriate Left response to such eventualities? From its earliest roots in the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century, the Left has generally been favorably disposed to technology, which has been seen as having the potential to liberate workers from drudgery and foster progressive changes in social relation…
