All you who would protect your minds,
Maintain your mindfulness and introspection;
Guard them both, at cost of life and limb,
I join my hands, beseeching you.

I dunno if your familiar with this part, but in any cooperative environment an even more cooperative strategy does even better, but eventually the environment becomes so cooperative that it can be invaded by a competitive strategy. Which seems to be unavoidable, even if tragic.

I feel that it explains what we see in the world atm, the degree of cooperation (which is obviously the best goal for humanity) had become so high that it allowed the competitive strategies to become more favourable which has allowed all this nastyness in.

One of my fave bits is the work on the evolution of cooperation done by Williams and Axelrod using the model of the iterative prisoners dilemna.
For me this sums up the human dilemma that we live poised between cooperation and competition.

And I'm aware of epigentics bringing in a new layer of nuance that refines the theory further.
I feel our difference comes about because for me the theory of evolution is the modern synthesis whereas for you the theory of evolution is in name Darwins theory.

Also note, the above refers to the theory of evolution which I interpret as the modern theory.
I don't deny that it has grown, which is why my arguments have been against Darwins original theory as opposed to the modern theory of evolution which is the synthesis.

I'd happily agree with all of that but feel the second para about it withstanding challenges refers to the modern synthesis which also implies the correctness of Darwin as the synthesis joined the two theories
However if you say genes aren't important you throw out half the theory in modern terms

Evolutionary psychology is the reason I went to university to study psychology. I read extensively on this. Hamilton and Dawkins are two of the most influential figures in understanding evolution and their contributions depend entirely on genes. Without genes their is no understanding evolution.

Whereas inclusive fitness*, the concept in Neo-Darwinism focuses on the frequency of a gene in the gene pool in later generations with the gene being the level of selection** rather than the organism
Genes are absolutely essential to the theory as the unit of selection

Darwin spoke of traits being advantageous or injurious to survival of the organism with health, strength and longevity being the metrics. This is somewhat vague and incorrect.

We'll just have to disagree then, Darwin without Mendel has no mechanism and it is Neo-Darwinism that is one of the greatest theories of all time not Darwinism.
Neo-Darwinism is the only challenge and is very real.

The above is pretty much the accepted view.
I admire your willingness to defend Darwin . . .
We shouldn't be arguing about this cos I think we both on team Darwin.

How about hole rather than flaw . . .
Both pieces of work were lacking without the other to reach the brilliance that is the modern synthesis
You are undoubtedly discussing Neo-Darwinism

literally neo-darwinism is the combination of Mendel and Darwins theories and it is neo-Darwinism that has been proved right time after time.

Eh i'm as pro darwin as anyone so don't get me wrong but the theory lacked real explanatory power until there were discreet units of selection. I think any neo-darwinist will say the same.
W/out Mendel Darwins theory falls to the blending trap, advantageous traits would be diluted.
