*Absztrakt:*

What is quantum biology? It is often taken, in a word, as an
interdisciplinary field of research that applies models and concepts from
quantum mechanics to explain biological phenomena. But there is a subtlety
in this simple description: though necessary, it is not sufficient in
itself. After introducing some characteristic examples of quantum
biological phenomena, including the ability of robins to navigate during
migration, I show how extant accounts of quantum biology have not
adequately characterized it—including ones that see it as a kind of quantum
engineering by nature—and also why this characterization is important. I
propose my own account, arguing not only that it remedies the deficiencies
of other proposals, but also that it helps explain some of the history of
quantum biology as a field of research and suggests a descriptive and
normative research program in the philosophy of interdisciplinary science.
The key to these is the failure of a kind of explanatory screening-off
between levels of reality that may be of independent interest.
