Syamsu, I have read your original "thesis" and in its proper application in both biology and in biochemistry/molecular biology it is really nothing more than a restatement of the component of natural selction that deals with reproduction. In otherwords, it falls within the susbset of NS w.r.t. the mechanism for the generation of offspring (in Dawkins terms it would be the expression of the replication factor, althogh in the larger sense I think that Dawkins is wrong). What your concepts lack are the fitness factor which need not rely on competition (review statements by Russian biologists prior to Stalin and Lenin concerning co-operation in Siberia and biological evolution). Sorry that I do not have time to go in depth right now but there it is. Back to work now. Sorry that I have been much absent but I have been getting my a$$ kicked at work and am off to a well earned vacation on Friday (I plan on celebrating my 40th by riding my bike up the side of a mountain with a minimum of vomiting as I go
).
