The Scientist's Toolkit: 3: Species

on Network Three

by A.J. Cain, University of Manchester
A series of nine talks in which scientists of various disciplines talk about concepts crucial to their field of study
It's said God made all creatures great and small - and if you're a biologist it helps to be able to name each kind, each species. But evolution is - and always has been - changing kind into new kind: species changes with time. If species is only a word, then it's a very helpful word: the example par excellence of a scientist's tool.
