Jason Scott Robert and Françoise Baylis (2003) contrast the skepticism among scientists about the biological basis for the notion of fixed or well-defined species with the persistence of a strong popular conception of species as fixed and well-defined. In making this contrast, they suggest an intriguing analogy to race:There is here an analogy to the recent debate about the concept of race. It is argued that race is a biologically meaningless category, and yet this in no way undermines the reality that fixed races exist independently as social constructs and they continue to function, for good, or more likely, ill, as a moral category.
