      abstract = {This book addresses several key issues in the biological  study of death with the intent of capturing their  genealogy, the assumptions and presuppositions they make,  and the way that they open specific new research avenues.  The book is divided into two sections: the first considers  physiology and the second evolutionary biology. Huneman  explains that biologists in the late 1950s put forth a  research framework that evolutionarily accounts for death  in terms of either an effect of the weakness of natural  selection or a by-product of natural selection for early  reproduction. He illustrates how the biology of death is a  central field and that studying it provides insight into  the way that the epistemic structure of this knowledge has  been constituted, persists until now, and may conflict with  some traditional philosophical ideas. Philippe Huneman is  Research Director at the Institut dHistoire et de  Philosophie des Sciences et des Techniques at the  Universite Paris, France. He is also an affiliated  professor at the University of Toronto, Canada, and he has  published extensively on the philosophy of evolutionary  biology and ecology. .},
