Finally, I argue While philosophical debates about natural kinds often involve folk-biological examples such as natural kinds and to develop a general model of the relation between indigenous and scientific Sections 1-3 discuss three models of the relation between indigenous and scientific kinds that are diverge from scientific taxa because they fail to refer to natural kinds. that divergence of indigenous and scientific taxonomies undermines the very idea of natural kinds For example, a folk-biologist may successfully refer to a natural kind such empirical evidence of taxonomic convergence of indigenous and scientific kinds and even of nested assumption of three taxonomies that consider different properties: An indigenous folk-biologist ./cache/work_xn6m4qryafha7dhpr3eg52if5e.pdf ./txt/work_xn6m4qryafha7dhpr3eg52if5e.txt
