|Description=TODOThe [[Core Question| core questions]] of a [[Discipline| discipline]] are those general questions that are essential to the discipline, having the power to define it and establish its boundaries within the mosaic. It appears that in some cases the theories associated with a discipline can reshape its core questions. For example, the modern species concept predated evolutionary biology and was necessary for framing the question of the origin of species--a core question of evolutionary biology. However, the modern species concept has been entirely reshaped by evolutionary theory [[CiteRef:: Paul add Ereshefsky (2017)]]. The question of how theories within a descriptiondiscipline shape and change core questions of the discipline has been identified as an interesting topic for further research.
