The central role of mathematical modeling in modern evolutionary
theory has raised a concern as to why and how abstract formulae can
say anything about empirical phenomena of evolution. This Element
introduces existing philosophical approaches to this problem and
proposes a new account according to which evolutionary models are
based on causal, and not just mathematical, assumptions. The novel
account features causal models both as the Humean 'uniform nature'
underlying evolutionary induction and as the organizing framework
that integrates mathematical and empirical assumptions into a
cohesive network of beliefs that functions together to achieve
epistemic goals of evolutionary biology.
