I\u2019ve discussed relativity in evolutionary biology with regards to uniform change but, as with the Special Theory of Relativity in physics, we want a theory that covers all change.

This means that insofar as relativity applies to biology under uniform motion, i.e. when a species is reproducing in a regular fashion, we want a theory of relativity that applies to biology even when a species is undergoing non-uniform motion, i.e. when the species reproductive cycle has undergone a serious change.<\/p>\n
It is a fundamental equivalence of evolutionary biology that the struggle for survival and natural selection yield the exact same results.\u00a0 This relationship has yet to be interpreted.\u00a0 If we consider a person in love, financially secure and who wants nothing more than to raise children for foreseeable rest of his life.\u00a0 That person may view this situation as the culmination of his struggle to survive and replicate.\u00a0 That person may equally view the situation to be nature selecting him as suitable to continue life<\/em>.<\/p>\nFor what apparently are good reasons action at a distance is not allowed.\u00a0 Struggle for survival does not occur at a distance; \u2018struggle\u2019 seems to inherently imply some local interaction.\u00a0 Natural selection, however, is much more amorphous in nature: how exactly does nature select<\/em><\/strong>?\u00a0 I suggest that we think of natural selection as a biofield<\/em><\/strong> that acts upon organisms.<\/p>\nInertial \u2018fitness\u2019 and Gravitational \u2018fitness\u2019<\/p>\n
The fitness of a thing creates a (teeny) natural selection field.\u00a0 The fitness of a species creates a (small) natural selection field.\u00a0 The fitness of an ecosystem creates a (large) natural selection field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
