Thought on reproduction and the meaning of species
I was recently reading a short story by Samuel Delany, which included the statement
"The reproductive function, was it primary or adjunctive? If... you
consider the whole ecological balance a single organism, it's adjunctive, a vital
reparative process along with sleeping and eating"
This has been bugging me somewhat ever since, and I believe I'm starting to get a handle on why.
( A thought on the perspectives of biologyCollapse )OK, end of random thought. Anyone have thoughts on this?
