GENUS AND SPECIES
[L:102] For Kant, concepts are higher "so far as they have other concepts under them, which in relation to them are called lower concepts". Genus and species is defined in terms of this relation between concepts: "the higher concept in regard to its lower concept is called genus, the lower in respect of its higher, species".

Species
In biology, a species is one of the basic units of biological classification. A species is often defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. While in many cases this definition is adequate, more precise or differing measures are often used, such as based on similarity of DNA or on the presence of specific locally-adapted traits.
