I'm extremely confused re how to think about 'levels of selection' in evolution. If anyone can explain this clearly or has good links please lmk, would be insanely grateful! Looking for explanations that mathematician-types would be aesthetically satisfied w/.

@ESYudkowsky Do you have a framework for comparing different levels of selection?Hvala. Twitter će to iskoristiti za poboljšanje vaše vremenske crte. PoništiPoništi

An example is "transmission-ratio distortion" (e.g meiotic drive) -- an allele's frequency increases to its own benefit but at the expense of the organism. So selection is working *for* the gene but *against* the organism, hence diff 'levels of selection'.

I think an interesting thing here woukd be what kind of selection pressures lead to different kinds of levels of selection. i.e. group selection may make sense in species Y but not X, same for kin selection

The quoted part is true, but the 1 bit per gene pool argument in the post I think is wrong.

The “on average, all but 2 are eliminated” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. The 16 kids also seems kind of superfluous.
