I was looking for a paper co-authored by Robert Sapolsky, "Reductionism and Variability in Data: A Meta-Analysis". He refers to this paper in one of his Stanford behavioral biology lectures, which I just listened to again with fresh ears, Chaos and Reductionism, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_njf8jwEGRo. I didn't find the paper online. But I did find one of his popular articles, Testosterone Rules, http://discovermagazine.com/1997/mar/testosteronerule1077 . And I also found the abstract of a commentary by Sapolsky in the journal THE SCIENCES: Genetic Hyping, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/j.2326-1951.2000.tb03474.x/abstract . For further enlightenment, I watched the next lecture in the series, #22 Emergence and Complexity, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_ZuWbX-CyE . The lectures and articles are very accessible. The lectures are directed at undergrads, the Discover Magazine and The Sciences articles are directed at lay-persons. |
