Re: [xmca] Dialects of Development- Sameroff

That's right, Steve, though I'm pretty sure I didn't see this title until after I made the diagram. And of course Lewontin is referring to different factors. And, also, of course, collagen actually does have a triple-helix structure, which Francis Crick thought was more interesting than the double helix of DNA, but which got very little attention.

His core theme regarding biological development is that solely considering the interaction between gene and organism makes for bad biology.   The environment has decisive influence as well.
