Question for you????

Steen writes:

The accurate math is to look at each trait and evaluate how likely each is to reproduce.

Is that really correct? Or is more reasonable look at it from the other end and ask, "Why did this one reproduced better? "

Can Natural Selection be predictive?

Re: Question for you????

The question is "Can it be a predictor"? Can we look at a trait with enough knowledge to predict success or can we only look back and say, "This is what happened"?
