Darwin's idea of natural selection makes people uncomfortable because it reverses the direction of tradition.

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.

Those who feel guilty contemplating "betraying" the tradition they love by acknowledging their disapproval of elements within it should reflect on the fact that the very tradition to which they are so loyal—the "eternal" tradition introduced to them in their youth—is in fact the evolved product of many adjustments firmly but delicately made by earlier lovers of the same tradition.

Natural selection is anything but random.

Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn't create.
