Abstract

The topics discussed are: selection among genes and cells, selection under exclusive uniparental reproduction, mass selection, the pleiotropic threshold, multiple peaks in selective value, incompatible adaptations, effects of changing environment, some misunderstandings, synergic effects of random processes, macromutations, reciprocal translocations, introgressive hybridization, and selection among species and higher categories.
