In the early 1900s, after the rediscovery of Mendel's work, the gaps in understanding between genetics and evolutionary Darwinism led to vigorous debate among biometricians, such as Walter Weldon and Karl Pearson, and Mendelians, such as Charles Davenport, William Bateson and Wilhelm Johannsen.

Following theorists such as Felix Guattari, Gregory Bateson, and Manuel DeLanda the European version of media ecology as practiced by authors such as Matthew Fuller and Jussi Parikka presents a post-structuralist political perspective on media as complex dynamical systems.

Gregory Bateson was the first to draw such analogies in his project of an Ecology of Mind ( Bateson 1973 ), which was based on general principles of complex dynamic life processes, e. g. the concept of feedback loops, which he saw as operating both between the mind and the world and within the mind itself.

Critically, Bateson gave a lecture to the Royal Horticultural Society in July 1899full text, which was attended by Hugo de Vries, in which he describes his investigations into discontinuous variation, his experimental crosses, and the significance of such studies for the understanding of Heredity.

Bateson goes on to give the general characteristics of such a relationship :< ol style =" list-style-type: lower-alpha ;">< li > When the victim is involved in an intense relationship ; that is, a relationship in which he feels it is vitally important that he discriminate accurately what sort of message is being communicated so that he may respond appropriately ;</ li >< li > And, the victim is caught in a situation in which the other person in the relationship is expressing two orders of message and one of these denies the other ;</ li >< li > And, the victim is unable to comment on the messages being expressed to correct his discrimination of what order of message to respond to: i. e., he cannot make a metacommunicative statement .</ li ></ ol >

By the 1940s, anthropologists such as Hortense Powdermaker, Gregory Bateson, Margaret Mead ( Trance and Dance in Bali, 1952 ) and Asen Balikci ( with Netsilik Inuits ' movies ) were bringing anthropological perspectives to bear on mass media and visual representation.

Foucault then develops a holistic account of power and uses methods not too dissimilar to the astonishing and outstanding Medieval Islamic polymaths scholars Alhazen, Ibn Sīnā, and Ibn Khaldūn and to a lesser extant prominent science figures from 20th century science such as ; Gregory Bateson, James Lovelock ( the founder of Gaia hypothesis ) and Robert N. Proctor ( Proctor who coined the term Agnotology ) and urges us to think outside the box of this new kind of power, therefore, opening up the possibilities of further investigations into this new perceived, impenetrable nature of biopower and according to Foucault he asks us to remember, this type of power is never neutral nor is it independent from the rest of society but are embedded within society functioning as embellished ' control technology ' specifics. Foucault argues ; nation states, police, government, legal practices, human sciences and medical institutions have their own rationale, cause and effects, strategies, technologies, mechanisms and codes and have managed successfully in the past to obscure there workings by hiding behind observation and scrutiny.

Some scientists who were famous in Cuénot's day such as William Bateson, the man credited the “ one gene one enzyme ” hypothesis never recognized Cuénot's discovery that certain traits arose due to the presence or absence of an enzyme.

Cultural anthropology and social anthropology were developed around ethnographic research and their canonical texts which are mostly ethnographies: e. g. Argonauts of the Western Pacific ( 1922 ) by Bronisław Malinowski, Ethnologische Excursion in Johore ( 1875 ) by Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay, Coming of Age in Samoa ( 1928 ) by Margaret Mead, The Nuer ( 1940 ) by E. E. Evans-Pritchard, Naven ( 1936, 1958 ) by Gregory Bateson or " The Lele of the Kasai " ( 1963 ) by Mary Douglas.

Bateson thinks of the mind neither as an autonomous metaphysical force nor as a mere neurological function of the brain, but as a " dehierarchized concept of a mutual dependency between the ( human ) organism and its ( natural ) environment, subject and object, culture and nature ", and thus as " a synonym for a cybernetic system of information circuits that are relevant for the survival of the species.

The terms " Spiritual Emergence " and " Spiritual Emergency " were coined by Stanislav and Christina Grof in order to describe a spiritual crisis in a person's life ( precedents of Grof's approach in this regard are found in Jung, Perry, Dabrowski, Bateson, Laing, Cooper and antipsychiatry in the widest sense of the term ).

The term orthogenesis was popularized by Theodor Eimer, though many of the ideas are much older ( Bateson 1909 ).

In contrast to Mendel's notion that traits are independently assorted when passed from parent to child — for example that a cat's hair color and its tail length are inherited independent of each other — Bateson and Punnett showed that certain genes associated with physical traits can be inherited together, or genetically linked.

Although the name Chordata is often attributed to William Bateson ( 1885 ), it was already in common use in by 1880.

The relevance of Mendelism to evolution was unclear and hotly debated, especially by Bateson, who opposed the biometric ideas of his former teacher Weldon.

Gregory Bateson and Lawrence S. Bale describe double binds that have arisen in science that have caused decades-long delays of progress in science because science had defined something as outside of its scope ( or " not science ")-- see Bateson in his Introduction to Steps to an Ecology of Mind ( 1972, 2000 ), pp. xv-xxvi ; and Bale in his article, Gregory Bateson, Cybernetics and the Social / Behavioral Sciences ( esp.

For example, a patient misses an appointment, and when Bateson finds him later the patient says ' the judge disapproves '; Bateson responds, " You need a defense lawyer " see following ( pp. 195 – 6 ) Bateson also surmised that people habitually caught in double binds in childhood would have greater problems — that in the case of the schizophrenic, the double bind is presented continually and habitually within the family context from infancy on.

Analogous to Émile Durkheim's concepts of mechanical and organic solidarity ( see functionalism ), Bateson posited a symmetrical form of schismogenic behavior that consisted of a competitive relationship between categorical equals ( e. g., rivalry ) and complementary schismogenesis between categorical unequals ( e. g., dominance and submission ).

In his work on the Ecology of Mind, Gregory Bateson adopts and extends Jung's distinction between Pleroma ( the non-living world that is undifferentiated by subjectivity ) and Creatura ( the living world, subject to perceptual difference, distinction, and information ).

What Bateson calls the " myth of power " is the epistemologically false application to Creatura of an element of Pleroma ( non-living, undifferentiated ).

This concerned the debate over saltationism versus gradualism ( Darwin had been a gradualist, but Bateson was a saltationist ).

Bateson didn't challenge the diagnosis but he did maintain that the seeming nonsense the patients said at times did make sense within context — and he gives numerous examples in section III -- Pathology in Relationship ( in Steps to an Ecology of Mind ).

One solution to a double bind is to place the problem in a larger context, a state Bateson identified as Learning III, a step up from Learning II ( which requires only learned responses to reward / consequence situations ).

Others developing similar ideas included Gregory Bateson ( double binding ), Paul Watzlawick ( paradoxical injunction ), Don D. Jackson ( the etiology of schizophrenia ) and Ronald D. Laing ( crazy-making families ).
