Commentary on Baverstock; the gene; an appraisal

Abstract

I argue that Baverstock's demotion of the gene in favour of the cellular phenotype is still too limited, and that phenotypes must be considered at multiple irreducible levels. I emphasise process thinking and the significance of agency in living systems.
