生物物种一直被视为传统的时空不受限制的类。如果它们要发挥它们在进化过程中所发挥的功能，它们就必须是时空局部化的个体、历史实体。将生物物种重新解释为历史实体，解决了生物学、生物学哲学和哲学本身的几个重要异常。它也对任何试图提出科学的“进化”分析的尝试以及致力于研究单一物种的人类学等科学具有重要意义。
Biological species have been treated traditionally as spatiotemporally unrestricted classes. If they are to perform the function which they do in the evolutionary process, they must be spatiotemporally localized individuals, historical entities. Reinterpreting biological species as historical entities solves several important anomalies in biology, in philosophy of biology, and within philosophy itself. It also has important implications for any attempt to present an "evolutionary" analysis of science and for sciences such as anthropology which are devoted to the study of single species.
