The Evolution of Group Selection
The next guest coming out on the podcast is David Sloan Wilson, who's one of the most important evolutionary biologists of all time. And he's almost single-handedly resurrected group selection beginning in the 1970s. He's responsible for the theory of multilevel selection along with a guy called Elliot Soga and a number of other thinkers. I asked David by email, which burning question should I ask Peter for this conversation? And David said, ask him whether he knows about multilevel Selection.
