Two Cheers for Reductionism
I want to point out that folks like Mayr, Gould (especially) and Lewontin were thirty years behind the times regarding selfish-gene effects and intergenomial evolution. I agree that natural selection is not the whole story, but I think the last decade of research supports the so-called reductionists who were so unfairly caricatured by Gould, while his notion of 'contingency' has been most deservedly ignored.
