As Darwin himself was at pains to point out, natural selection is all about differential survival within species, not between them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Natural selection is not evolution.
The real problem with natural selection is that it makes no intuitive sense. It is like quantum physics; we may intellectually grasp it, but it will never feel right to us.
Evolution thus is merely contingent on certain processes articulated by Darwin: variation and selection.
What an odd time to be a fundamentalist about adaptation and natural selection - when each major subdiscipline of evolutionary biology has been discovering other mechanisms as adjuncts to selection's centrality.
Darwin's idea of natural selection makes people uncomfortable because it reverses the direction of tradition.
Natural selection is not gene centrist and nor is biology all about genes; our comprehending minds are a result of our fast evolving culture.
Natural selection is anything but random.
Darwinism is not merely a support for naturalistic philosophy: it is a product of naturalistic philosophy.
There are good reasons why natural selection has become widely accepted as an explanation of evolutionary development. When applied to mammals and other large animals, it fits perfectly. But we cannot assume that all evolutionary steps arise from selection, particularly when looking at smaller animals.
Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species.
