Weisberg's main example of modeling is Volterra's and D'Ancona's work on the These reflections give us considerable insight into Volterra's and D'Ancona's reasons for choosing the modeling approach. To summarize, Volterra and D'Ancona offer an explicit argument for choosing a model-based approach. Thus, Volterra's and D'Ancona's motivation for modeling causal structures the Volterra model (see the next section on Darwin's work on coral atolls). non-modeling science) is Charles Darwin's explanation of the origin and distribution of coral reefs and atolls in the pacific ocean. "how possibly" to "how actually" with Darwin's model of the origin and distribution of coral atolls in the Pacific Ocean.
