{"product_id":"modelling-evolution-walter-veit-9781009459976","title":"Modelling Evolution","description":"This Element discusses the central role of models within evolutionary biology, offering an accessible introduction and synthesis of literature in both evolutionary biology and the philosophy of models. We will examine three questions: first, what does it mean to be a 'model' and to engage in 'modelling'? Second, what types of models are employed within evolutionary biology? Third, how can models of evolution be tested? In exploring the answers to these questions, this Element hopes to highlight how evolutionary biology and philosophy of biology can usefully interact to understand conceptual and methodological problems arising from modelling evolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Veit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 100945997X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009459976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Walter Veit","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47580091252991,"sku":"9781009459976","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e5e1e0b-3d20-4ef6-b43b-32057d1a9947.jpg?v=1763878735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modelling-evolution-walter-veit-9781009459976","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
