Resumen


Sounds, blasts and silences: between the crisis and the permanence of genetic determinism in contemporary biology

This work critically analyzes the characterization of genetic determinism given by some areas of contemporary biology. The main hypothesis is that even if some important theoretical changes have occur in recent decades, genetic determinism continues to be assumed in areas such as behavioral biology and some techno-scientific endeavors such as the Human Genome Project.

Key words. Genetic determinism, quantitative genetic, genotype-phenotype relationship, biological synthesis, the extended synthesis, epigenesis, EvoDevo, behavioral biology, Human Genome Project, theoretical diversity.
