Biologist Carol Kaesuk Yoon explores the historical tension between
evolutionary biology and taxonomy. Carl Linnaeus struggled in the
eighteenth century to define species in light of their mutability
while still relying on intuitive, visual judgments. As taxonomy
modernized, it moved into labs, yielding results counterintuitive
to humanity s innate predisposition to order the world. By
conceding scientific authority to taxonomists, Yoon argues, we ve
contributed to our own alienation from nature."
