Population Thinking and the Uniqueness of Biological Entities - Acta Biotheoretica Acta Biotheoretica - The concept of ‘population thinking’ was introduced by Ernst Mayr in the mid-twentieth century and it has since become one of the most pervasive notions in the...

Every biological entity is unique; no two are exactly alike. Is this a trivial observation, or a profound metaphysical claim about the living world? Read my new paper & find out! It deals with Mayr's "Population Thinking"; one of the most familiar yet tragically misunderstood ideas in all of biology

My talk "Time in Biology: A Defense of the A-Theory" will now take place on Tuesday, May 6, 2025 at 10:00 CET, UNED & online.
