Abstract

The object of this book has been the development of a framework for the explanation of the nature of the biodiversity problem, in such a manner that the explanation might itself suggest its own solution. To this end, it is necessary here to recount only that the problem of biodiversity is a clear example of the divergence between the locally and the globally optimal. Due to various externalities within the process, each state has the incentive to convert its diverse resources to a slate of sameness. For this reason, over the past ten thousand years, the amount of global diversity has been slowly converging upon a small slate of specialised species.
