Abstract
The ultimate conclusions of the population thinker and of the typologist are precisely the opposite. For the typologist the type... is real and the variation an illusion, while for the populationist, the type (average) is an abstraction and only the variation is real. No two ways of looking at nature could be more different. (Mayr 1959a:412)
