On the reception of Johannsen's pure line theory: Toward a sociology of scientific validity (1991)

unapi

Description “By presenting four cases of biometricians who were converted to Johannsen's theory, I specifically argue that the natural world plays a much more important role in the validation of pure line theory than MacKenzie and Barnes suppose in their externalist-sociological studies of the biometry-Mendelism controversy.”
