Are species worth saving? Can they be resurrected by technology?
What is the use of species in biomedicine? These questions all
depend on a clear definition of the concept of 'species', yet
biologists have long struggled to define this term. In this
accessible book, John S. Wilkins provides an introduction to the
concept of 'species' in biology, philosophy, ethics, policymaking
and conservation. Using clear language and easy-to-understand
examples throughout, the book provides a history of species and why
we use them. It encourages readers to appreciate the philosophical
depth of the concept as well as its connections to logic and
science. For any interested reader, this short text highlights the
complexities of a single idea in biology, the problems with the
concept of 'species' and the benefits of it in helping us to answer
the bigger questions and understand our living world.
