environment and genes in the determination of human thought, feeling
and behaviour, but no debate about the idea of "determinism"  embodied
in the scientific materialist ontology dominant in orthodox science
including orthodox biology. <

but there is debate on determinism. See Levins & Lewontin, Gould, et

"orthodox."
