summary | There has been a lot of discussion recently about the ‘nature’ of holobionts (communities of microorganisms in all sorts of niches, including the human body). I doubt this is a genuine metaphysical debate. I will show you how certain notions of holobionts came about epistemically, and how strong community-level notions of holobionts are being undermined as mechanistic analyses come to the fore in this research field. |
