Biology Under the Influence: Dialectical Essays on Ecology, agriculture, and health
“In this major collection of essays, Lewontin and Levins range from the Human Genome Project and evolutionary psychology to Cuban agriculture. Throughout, their work is illuminated by an insistence on a dialectical understanding of biology from the molecular to the socio-ecological. In rejecting reductionist understandings, they offer important insights into how biology—and science in general—could be reconceptualized in the service of human liberation.”-Steven Rose,emeritus professor of biology, Open University, United Kingdom
