Excerpt from New Perspectives on the History of Life: Essays on Systematic Biology as Historical Narrative (San Francisco, 21-23 June, 1994)
So we have very good reason to take the narrative aspect of evolutionary biology very seriously, to assess its possible strengths and limitations, and to see what might be done with it in future research. But as Landau (1991) points out, in a very interesting study on the history of narratives of human evolution, scientists themselves have said very little about the narrative aspects of their own research.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traverses historical representations' fascinating world. It unveils the diverse methods different fields use to map out the space of time we call history. From phylogenetics to textual transmission, from historical linguistics to geology, this book explores how concepts regularly applied in the representation of spatial information, like generalization, can be applied to historical representation. By surveying the shared concerns that unite palaeontology, comparative philology, and other fields, this book presents an expanded analogy between the representation of history and the representation of cartography. This deepened understanding of the practices shared across palaeological sciences gives us unique insights into the ways we visualize historical events. At once intellectually edifying and strikingly original, this book not only unifies disparate historical approaches but also provides a springboard for even more fascinating interdisciplinary dialogues in the future.
