简介

The nature and identification of species is hotly debated by biologists and many attempts have been made to find a definition of a "species" that would settle the debate. Here, an evolutionary biologist offers an account of the biological facts and explains why the observed patterns cannot be forced into a single scheme of classification. He argues that the difficulty lies in the way humans think and use language, particularly in the way we learn the meaning of words. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
