BIO 311D Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Low Culture, High Culture
Document Summary
You need both names, genus and family: homo + sapiens. Differentiation of specific plant names: one-to-one correspondence. One species name for one specific name: under differentiation. Multiple species into one specific name: over differentiation. Add multiple specific names for minor details/small differences: this is dependent on their cultural significance. Relationship between cultural significance to differentiation of specific plant names. The more you are aware of something the more you are aware of the differences. If you are really interested in jazz, you would organize different types of jazz. Can be done with plants and animals. Most species are found in the tropics: not all species are adapted to all environments, species have specific tolerances, humans can live anywhere because we can change the environment, ex. No polar bears in texas- too hot: tropics are most hospitable. Barely any in cold environments: would need to be extremely specialized to live in cold.
