That would be assuming that the geometry of spider webs is determined by inheritable genes, and are not "learned" skills which cannot be passed to the offspring.
Wouldn't the geometry of spider webs be more a behavioural adaptation? And as such, for evolution to apply to it wouldn't it have to be governed by gene(s)? So anyway, have any genes been found which code for the spider's spinning behaviour?
