Species definitions reader

I have put a file on my home site that lists as many species definitions, from Aristotle to today, as I can find. It's a work in progress, so if you find any that are significant in the history of biology or the present debate that I have missed, please let me know. In time, this may become a reader published somewhere. [It's a 1.3Mb PDF]

Very helpful. Thank you.

Great stuff John. Now can you do this for created kinds? :)

Sure I can: A created kind is whatever is necessary to (1) make humans not animals, and (2) get all the animals on the Ark. In short, a baramin is whatever a theologian calls a baramin.
