There Is More To Biology Than Rats,

Indeed, I Was Unable To Find Any Evidence Whatsoever Of The Occurrence Of A Drastic Evolutionary Acceleration And Genetic Reconstruction In Widespread, Populous Species.

Evolution, Thus, Is Merely Contingent On Certain Processes Articulated By Darwin: Variation And Selection. No Longer Is A Fixed Object Transformed, As In Transformational Evolution, But An Entirely New Start Is, So To Speak, Made In Every Generation.

A Species Consists Of A Group Of Populations Which Replace Each Other Geographically Or Ecologically And Of Which The Neighboring Ones Integrate Or Hybridise Wherever They Are In Contact Or Which Are Potentially Capable Of Doing So (with One Or More Of The Populations) In Those Cases Where Contact Is Prevented By Geographical Or Ecological Barriers.

Isolating Mechanisms Are Biological Properties Of Individuals That Prevent The Interbreeding Of Populations That Are Actually Or Potentially Sympatric.

Life Is Simply The Reification Of The Process Of Living.
