Modelling Evolution (Elements in the Philosophy of Biology) - Softcover

Modelling Evolution

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This Element discusses the central role of models within evolutionary biology, offering an accessible introduction and synthesis of literature in both evolutionary biology and the philosophy of models. We will examine three questions: first, what does it mean to be a 'model' and to engage in 'modelling' Second, what types of models are employed within evolutionary biology Third, how can models of evolution be tested In exploring the answers to these questions, this Element hopes to highlight how evolutionary biology and philosophy of biology can usefully interact to understand conceptual and methodological problems arising from modelling evolution.
