Re: Where does NS apply pressure?
Then you would agree that natural selection "pressurizes" all the way down to the genetic level? This is different from selecting at the level of the individual, who is only an extant collection of phenotypes, assembled to serve the needs of reproduction, which of course perpetuates those selfish genes.
​
I don't see how that differentiates the genetic level from the individual level. Can you elaborate? They still seem the same to me.
