Standing over Darwin’s grave in Westminster Abbey, Andrew Feinberg had a realization. Feinberg, a genetics researcher at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, looked to the left and saw Newton’s grave. Just above Newton is a plaque honoring physicist Paul Dirac, a pioneer of quantum theory. Inherent in quantum theory is the idea of uncertainty in the interaction of subatomic particles. “So I look back at Darwin’s grave and it hits me; there’s nothing like that in biology,” Feinberg says. Nothing that deals with uncertainty. Yet there is uncertainty in biology. Gen... (p. 18)Published: December 18th, 2010; Vol.178 #13
