If you wanted to dissect the structure of living cells, genetic analysis was an extremely powerful method, so my interest turned to that. ↗

I suspect any worries about genetic engineering may be unnecessary. Genetic mutations have always happened naturally, anyway. ↗

As a consequence, geneticists described evolution simply as a change in gene frequencies in populations, totally ignoring the fact that evolution consists of the two simultaneous but quite separate phenomena of adaptation and diversification. ↗

The major novelty of my theory was its claim that the most rapid evolutionary change does not occur in widespread, populous species, as claimed by Most geneticists, but in small founder populations. ↗

In genetic epistemology, as in developmental psychology, too, there is never an absolute beginning. ↗

Our problem, from the point of view of psychology and from the point of view of genetic epistemology, is to explain how the transition is made from a lower level of knowledge to a level that is judged to be higher. ↗

Most intellectuals today have a phobia of any explanation of the mind that invokes genetics. ↗
