A sweeping new review of five decades of scientific literature finds robust evidence that natural selection operates simultaneously across multiple levels of life, from genes to groups to entire communities, and not just on individual organisms.

The #Naturalselection is what I would wish everyone who watched #snowboarding at the #olympics should get to see instead - great riding in superb terrain.

How/Why did giraffes evolve to have a big neck like they have? My simplistic mind only thinks about eating from high places. I've been thinking about unique animals.

A person, a human, is an animal (e.g., comprised of animal cells) Knowing, or in some cases coming to accept the broad range of fact's about this, is generally, healthy knowledge for any person & culture to have.

Natural Selection Operates Across Diverse Scales, From Molecules to Ecosystems

Natural selection, the process that drives evolution, acts on many levels, from tiny molecules to large ecosystems, changing how we understand life's development.

Scientists now know natural selection works on many levels, not just on individual animals or plants. This is like saying a single brick matters, but also the whole wall and the house it builds.

I haven’t actually finished any of the books that I’ve already started reading, but I’m going to start to read this today and hope to finish it before the day is over. Happy Darwin Day everyone!
