First, I note that most of the conditions that constitute the narrow interpretation of 'biological population' face both conceptual difficulties and counterexamples gleaned from the complexity of the biological world (Section 3). Classical evolutionary theory provides conditions for a grouping of individuals to undergo population dynamics. Another commonly assumed constraint on the notion of 'biological population' is that an evolving group is necessarily sub-species: all members of a necessary for a group of individuals to co-evolve as a biological population). Since causal interactions that unite individuals into a biological population Individuals in a biological population are related to each other by specific causal interactions which	./cache/work_42n3jpw6pjdzln7q4exymai4mq.pdf	./txt/work_42n3jpw6pjdzln7q4exymai4mq.txt
