Tautology and Natural Selection

Syamsu, I think therein lies the problem. Natural selection invokes fitness, & fitness, biologically speaking, means the relative ability to procreate. Procreation involves heritability, non? Heritability is therefore implicit to natural selection.If heritability isn't a part of NS, then why experimentally is absolutely vital?Mark------------------

Peter, Fitness & reproductive success are one & the same, they are equal, neither is measured by the other. I boobed when I said (words to the effect of) fitness is a measure of rs, poor English on my part.Mark------------------
