While the debate is about a single species—albeit a high-profile, so-called charismatic megafauna—it also sheds a light on how scientists work out disagreements: via papers, interpretations of old evidence, gathering new data, and eventually—hopefully—consensus. The same process has led to the acceptance of evolution, the warming of the planet due to greenhouse gas emissions, and that the Earth revolves around the sun. And now it's being applied to the Kobomani tapir.
The Morpho Institute's insight:
Great way to jazz up your next unit on classification and the process of science! Real time, real debate on the classification of a new species of tapir.
