FINALS

Dr. Carter,
I had an idea today and I wanted to know you opinion on it, if it's "right".

The reason that the Homo sapien specie has been so successful and evolved so efficiently is because there is not much evolutionary constraint against group selection. Group selection increases the fitness of the group as a whole.

I also had another question. Can selfishness (opposite of altruism) be considered an evolutionary constraint? (individual selection > group selection)

How does plastic surgery effect natural selection? The trait(s) is/are not inherited, so what could it to the population over time?

I would highly appreciated if you could give me your thought. I have been trying to figure out all semester but just don't know enough to figure it out.


Thank you,
Jocelyn
