Hi Telmo. Group selection It is no longer controversial. Naive group selection do not work, but selection between groups where internal deletereous behaviours are repressed to a certan level (but never eliminated) does work. The theory is called multilevel selection. where selection operates at all levels at the same time.

There is no need to look for them. we are the most sophisticated example. 2013/1/25 Telmo Menezes <te...@telmomenezes.com> > It's a fascinating idea. > Groups selection seems to be a controversial issue with biologists, but it > makes sense to me that evolution could work at the colony level, the same > way it does for social insects.
