Wormwholes: a commentary on K. F. Schaffner's "Genes, behavior, and developmental emergentism

Although Caenorhabditis elegans was chosen and modified to be an organism that would facilitate a reductionist program for neurogenetics, recent research has provided evidence for properties that are emergent from the neurons. While neurogenetic advances have been made using C elegans which may be useful in explaining human neurobiology, there are severe limitations on C. elegans to explain any significant human behavior.
