Rose argues for ontological unity but epistemological diversity, for the validity of different levels of explanation of the one world.
Rose highlights the complexity of the relationship between genes, chromosomes, genomes, and organisms, and the need for concepts such as norms of reaction in modeling the rarely simple or linear relationships between genotype and phenotype.
Rose analyses some of the devices used: reification, arbitrary agglomeration, improper quantification, the abuse of statistics, spurious localisation, misplaced causation, and the confusion of metaphor with homology, among others.

Rose's lab has found a molecule which counteracts these effects, by binding synapses together in the way normally done by the proteins whose manufacture is stopped by antibiotics in chicks and by Alzheimer's disease in humans.

 Lifelines : Biology Beyond Determinism by Steven Rose
Rose, a biochemist, specializes in how memory works, and his book includes some fascinating information about the influence of chemistry in the development of our bodies.
In Lifelines, biologist Steven Rose offers a powerful alternative to the ultradarwinist claims of such notable science writers as Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and other advocates of reductionism, arguing that there need to be a specific focus on the organism in question and, in particular, on the organism's lifeline.
Rose argues against an extreme reductionist approach that would make the gene the key to understanding human nature, in favor of a more complex and richer vision of life.

The hard question for the Roses is whether this is a mere intellectual debate, or whether there is a vital and urgent lesson for us all in the description of humanity, the direction of science and the use, misuse or disgraceful waste of billions of dollars of scarce resources.
Well, according to Rose, if you were to take an electron microscope picture of the nerve cells in the brain of a chicken and the nerve cells in the brain of a human and present them to the most experienced neuroscientist in the world, they would not be able to tell the difference between them.
Roses enlarges on this by saying that, the concept of homosexuality is not the same today as it was in Victorian England or in Plato's Greece.

Rose's own style of discussion is similar, however, apparently in the hope that his readers will be sufficiently ignorant of biochemistry to think that his emphasis on its complexity has some bearing on the question of whether genes influence behavior.
