Michael Ghiselin

Michael Ghiselin is a philosopher known for his work in the philosophy of biology. He explores the concepts of species, evolution, and the nature of biological classifications. Ghiselin argues against traditional views of species as fixed categories, suggesting instead that they are more like dynamic populations shaped by evolutionary processes. His ideas challenge how we understand biological diversity and the relationships among living organisms, emphasizing the role of natural history in shaping scientific concepts. Ghiselin's contributions have fostered discussions about the implications of evolutionary theory for biology and related disciplines.
