Metabolic complexity has no bearing on genetic determinism
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (5):889-890 (1999)
| Abstract | Metabolic systems are complicated and contain very large numbers of interacting reactions and many internal regulatory mechanisms. This does not prevent the genetic composition of an organism from influencing its behavior, however, nor does it preclude the possibility that some aspects of its behavior may be amenable to simple explanations. | |||||||||
