Where Is Macro-Evolution Occurring

Dear Ned,
It is somewhat "un"clear to me too. I have been looking over Gould's "Species as Individuals in the Hierarchical Theory of Selection" in his THE STRUCTURE OF EVOLUTIONARY THEORY and given my own few or many quircks of interpretation I can not understand why Gould seperates for a "macro" perspective multiple issues which in these quick quircks I find only one process and only a meta or labeling scheme being proposed by him. It is nice that Gould "spaces" out his understanding of concepts for any one to read but I can not make out his idea into its "strong" form NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY. I will explain this later and in bits relative to reading Faraday in terms of Galvani with some idea perhaps that DNA-RNA-Protein might indeed form a voltaic circuit and IF (the big if) microtubules are thought of as Faraday's "thermo" circuit then... but that I will reserve for a better, more relaxed Q&A. The point there will be that perhaps unlike Creswell this particular hook will be formed contrary to the notion of perpetualness in Volta but maybe not in "inventory". My problem is that I read Faraday's last paragraph in a "sarcastic" tone as to the notion of "perpetual" so I am not certain I have recieved the guy in his own voice.

They can with a lot of dough, content maganagemnet money and no future biotech beyond XML. My bet is that nanoecology will suffer a Marylin Manson type=public relations fall before this does not come to pass. Gould is relying as far as I see it on VRML not being able to out label his CONCEPT of SPANDREL but I can already see differences he would have had to shore up if he was still among the living. I have no guage of my generations' interest in his work but if Carl Zimmer is any indication I will be in just as much trouble on this line with what in my generation I can be clear about has I have not been with trying to not span two other generations of readings in biology. I now read back to 1800 not long ago it was 1900. In the 1980s I was only reading to biology of the 50s and I thought that would pass. It did not. by the 90s it was the 30s and the rest- well let me not get this far off a Buzz topic for I want to come back to the future as well.
