Kant on epigenesis, monogenesis and human nature: The biological premises of anthropology [PDF]
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C:Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, 2006 The aim of this paper is to show that for Kant, a combination of epigenesis and monogenesis is the condition of possibility of anthropology as he conceives of it and that moreover, this has crucial implications for the biological dimension of his account

The probabilistic epigenesis of knowledge
2006Publisher Summary This chapter outlines an approach that takes knowledge acquisition as an instance of a striking but general, developmental phenomenon, the emergence of new structure. This approach circumvents many of the logical problems of knowledge acquisition and provides a rational framework for integrating seemingly disparate developmental ...

Mechanisms of Disease: Epigenesis
Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2007Genome-wide epigenetic modification plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression through chromatin structure and stability, tissue-specific and embryonic developmental specific gene regulation, and genomic imprinting. Mechanisms include chromatin remodeling through histone modification and DNA methylation, RNA associated gene silencing and ...

Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews, 1997
Studies employing event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) were designed to study the effects of different types of language experience on the development and organization of neural systems important in language processing.

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1995
AbstractMealey distinguishes two types of sociopathy: (1) “primary,” or obligate, and (2) “secondary,” or facultative. Either sociopathy evolved twice, or one form is derived from the other, e.g., through: (1) genetic assimilation generating polymorphism in the relative strength of biases favoring the development of otherwise facultative strategies, or

‘Spontaneous’ transformation as aberrant epigenesis
Differentiation, 1993The NIH 3T3 line of cells has particular advantages for studying the dynamics of change in cellular phenotype in response to environmental conditions. Similar to stem cell growth during development, the cell line changes its phenotype under growth constraints that elicit differentiation or, alternatively, it maintains its original state over many ...

Cancer and Epigenesis: A Developmental Perspective
Advances in Pediatrics, 2003Traditionally, molecular geneticists have studied the genome, that is, DNA. This has included its sequencing, with identification of promoters, enhancers, introns, exons, and mutations. During the last 10 to 15 years, it has become clear that this study of "naked" DNA imposed major limitations on our understanding of gene regulation, and that DNA must ...

Epigenesis and the evolution of social systems
Journal of Heredity, 1981The remaining problems of biology, which include the nature of the molecular regulation of development, the relation between micro- and macroevolution, the mind/body association, and the linkage between genetic and cultural evolution, all appear to be most readily soluble by attention to the epigenesis of individual organisms.
