There isn’t a clear demarcation between the end of evolution and the start of history, where geneticinfluence ceases and environmental factors begin, or where culture dominates and nature yields,and the opposite is also true. Rather, it is a layered intermingling of nature and culture, like endlessturtles stacked upon one another. Countless frogs standing on shoulders of more frogs. Newtscoming from newts coming from newts coming from newts. Every being that matters is acongeries of its formative histories – all of them. Every being all its developmental histories.
This seemingly relentless teleological progression of linear, direct descent coupled with the idea of survival of the fittest, is misleading.Evolution, as it turns out, can be seen as having multiple facets, advancing in various directionssimultaneously. The traditional tree of life; concept, which appears to have clear origins, becomes more complex upon closer examination.
Natural selection, then, isn’t a straightforward concept of fitness; it is a compound process involvingtwo parallel phenomena – one being an internal dynamism within living beings, and the other, the impact of external forces and influences. These two aspects interfere with each other in a random manner, disrupting any notion of a neatly ordered teleological progression.
