  • Genotype and Phenotype

    Open AccessPierre L Van Den BergheCHAPTERWiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of…2015

    Genotype refers to the actual DNA at given locations (loci) on chromosomes. Phenotype refers to observable traits in either physical appearance or behavior. Phenotypes reflect the interaction between genotype and environment as well as the effect of genes on each other. Genotype and phenotype may be concordant, but frequently are not. Understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype is crucial to addressing the central problem in hum…

  • Sociobiology

    Open AccessPierre L Van Den BergheCHAPTERWiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of…2015

    E. O. Wilson's Sociobiology: The New Synthesis (1975) and Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene (1976) marked a paradigm shift in behavioral biology and the social sciences. Sociobiology made the gene the basic unit of natural selection and “kin selection” or nepotism between close relatives the main source of sociality. It offered an elegant model for explaining both the similarities and the differences in the entire range of animal societies, from…

  • Colour vs. race

    Pierre L Van Den BergheARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies2012Cited by: 2References: 1

    The central thesis of Banton, and, indeed, his central contribution to the study of race and ethnicity, is his individual reductionism: ‘the differentiation of individuals should precede the differ

  • Race (Racism)

    Open AccessPierre L Van Den BergheOTHERThe Blackwell Encyclopedia of…2007Cited by: 5

    The term “racism” widely entered the social science vocabulary in the 1930s, as part of the Boasian reaction against the social Darwinism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Ruth Benedict, a student of Franz Boas, was one of the prominent early users. By the 1950s and 1960s, a broad consensus developed as to what racism meant, namely, an attitude or theory that some human groups, socially defined by biological descent and physic…

  • Multicultural democracy

    Open AccessPierre L Van Den BergheARTICLENations and Nationalism2002Cited by: 17References: 1

    After differentiating multicultural democracy (MD) from other types of democracy (liberal, consociational, ethnic and Herrenvolk), this article explores both the conditions favouring MD and the problems it faces. The main obstacle to MD is the model of the ‘nation–state’, which has been the basis of legitimacy in most liberal democracies since the French Revolution. Multiculturalism has existed in many non–democratic states (such as colonial and …

  • Individualism and the Unity of Science

    Pierre L Van Den Berghe, Hope Kincaid et al.ARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1998

    In this original and important book, Harold Kincaid defends a view of the special sciences-all sciences outside physics-as autonomous and nonreducible. He argues that the biological and social sciences provide explanations that cannot be captured by explanations at the level of their constituent parts, and yet that this does not commit us to mysterious, nonphysical entitites like vital forces or group minds. A look at real scientific practice sho…

  • Rehabilitating stereotypes

    Pierre L Van Den BergheARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies1997Cited by: 9References: 19

    Whereas the conventional social science approach to the study of stereotypes has been both moralizing and psychologizing, the view presented here is that stereotypes are mostly opportunistic guides to action in situations of imperfect information. Stereotypes may sometimes express deep-seated prejudices, but, for most people most of the time, they merely reflect the necessity to make better-than-random decisions at minimum information cost, often…

    Open AccessPierre L Van Den BergheARTICLENations and Nationalism1995Cited by: 24References: 8

    This essay contends that behaviour can only be understood within an evolutionary framework that gives equal weight to genes and environment. Our cultural environment itself evolved, in part through natural selection of genes and in part through other mechanisms. Racism, however, involves association of genetically caused differences in physical appearance with characteristics to which they are wholly unrelated. Yet this association has a biologic…
