@hbdchick What's a "whole population"? A species? A sub-species? The evolutionary dynamic is fractal. A sub-species can certainly be lost. -
@hbdchick ... The further you push into deep time, the more brutal the pruning looks. There's no natural scale of selection. -
@Outsideness yup. i was suspecting this was part of the problem. selection happens at the individual (or even gene) level. (cc.@JayMan471) -
@Outsideness i'm not going to debate that point with you now. not enough time today. (^_^)@JayMan471
