[edit] Essays on genetic determinism?

Does this book really contains stuff on genetic determinism? In some of Richard Dawkins related articles, there was the statement that the gene-centric view of evolution and selection is often confused with genetical determinism, and I was wondering if that could not be the case. I really don't know, as I've not read it yet, so it's more a call for attention of anyone who has. --Extremophile 16:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


Yes, chapter 2.4, entitled "Genes Aren't Us" is about genetic determinism. It begins:

The bogey of genetic determinism needs to be laid to rest. The discovery of a so-called "gay gene" is as good an opportunity as we'll get to lay it.
