Steven Rose I ll just say one thing. We have a problem in understanding and agreeing on what you mean by physical in this particular context. But if, in fact, you insist on genes and environment, you also insist on development and therefore you insist upon history, and therefore you ve reintroduced the problem which you ve pretended to dissolve. 

Such speculations often come very close to what Steven Rose has nicely referred to as the Flintstone model . That is, it assumes that life in the Pleistocene was roughly the same as life in an American suburb in the 1950s. 

I am indebted to Steven Rose for pointing out that the distinction between these approaches was dangerously blurred in the version of this paper originally presented to the Philippe Laudat... 

Steven Rose I should say that most rape is not conducted against the category of fertile females. 

Steven Rose Well I think there are a lot of problems with that claim. There was a huge statistical error made in the original presentation of that, which I think has since been widely recognised. I take it that the likely story is that this chromosomal abnormality tends to produce a lower intelligence. And people with lower intelligence tend to do less well and be more likely to end up in criminal activities. 

Steven Rose. So this would be another example of the error of arguing from genetic defects to genetic control of behaviour. 

Steven Rose To some extent, everything is caused by everything else, and of course. .. 

Steven Rose I agree with that. But then let me ... 

Steven Rose The problem is partly defining what is an adaptation, what is an exaptation, and what is a spandrel, in the sense that people have... 

Steven Rose No, it s very close, Maturana and Varela argued this. I haven t heard them argue it in quite this sort of way but the concept is close. 

Steven Rose Anyone who talks about Jewish genes should bear in mind that the genetic profile of Polish Jews is much more similar to Polish non-Jews than it is to Spanish Jews, for example. There s been some hanky-panky going on here. 

Steven Rose That still won t tell you the metabolic flow - it will be one step better than this - but it won t tell you the flow. 

Lisa Lloyd I thought that Steven Rose gave a very vivid description of holistic research. 

Steven Rose I m not sure that I actually quite understand your question, Bob. What I was describing was systems which when you tried to reduce them you lost the sense of the system - you couldn t actually do it. Now that s an irreducible aspect of a particular form of living system, and it s one that you and I agree on. I don t care whether it s called holistic research or not, it s an example of finding the right level and finding the right type of description for the phenomenon that you want to study, and that seems to...
