Animal Style – What is Species?
(by-nc-nd)
There are 2 questions you should not ask a biologist… The first one is “what is life?“. Theoretically, biologists would have the answer for this simple question, it is life they are studying after all… However, if you do ask this question you will certainly not get a precise answer. “What is Species?” is even more confusing, there are dozens of definitions. Each biologist makes up his own definition that reflects and fits his studies. However, since life is an extremely diverse phenomena, why would we have to dictate a single definition for species? Maybe the answers are in music.
