What is Defining Innateness through Canalization about?
The paper argues for a biological definition of innateness, challenging the notion that it is not a legitimate concept in biology. It critiques existing definitions based on heritability and norms of reaction, proposing instead that innateness should be defined in terms of canalization from developmental biology. The author emphasizes that innate traits are environmentally stable and genetically transmitted, drawing on examples from ethology to support this view.
