Biology and the formation of modern evolutionary picture of the world

In recent years, thanks to the emergence of new technologies for DNA decoding, there has been an increasing debate among scientists about what should be considered an "animal species", how new species arise and how connections between them can be arranged. These debates are particularly fierce around human nature - whether we are "special" living beings whose evolution and genetic diversity are fundamentally different from how animals develop, and what ethnic and racial groups of people are. Many of these questions become part of philosophical discussions.
