Description

Explore one of biology's most debated questions with Frank E. Zachos' comprehensive examination of the species problem. This Springer publication traces the historical development of species concepts from ancient times through the Modern Synthesis, establishing crucial background before diving into contemporary theoretical frameworks. The book addresses the ontological status of species with particular emphasis on the individuality thesis and strategies for reconciling competing philosophical approaches. More than 30 distinct species concepts documented in scientific literature are presented in an annotated list format, enabling readers to understand how different disciplines and research contexts define what constitutes a species. Essential reading for biologists, philosophers of science, and anyone seeking to understand how we categorise and comprehend biological diversity.
