Do you think “construction” is a better conceptual metaphor than “adaptation. Look at convergence. Dolphins and fish, although different species,develop similar body shapes, due to the same environment. It is not a bad metaphor, as he says. It is an important part of evolution. As is his “construction” . They go together. Saying one is better than the other is like saying hot is better than cold. You can’t have one without the other.

Neodarwinists tend to neglect construction or sweep it under the rug entirely — adpatation WITHOUT CONSTRUCTION is not only bad, it is false.

and lewontin addresses this — it’s called co-construction or co-evolution. Organisms and environments have mutual circular causal relations on one another, Don’t need to posit a separate adaptation. It’s already there in coconstruction.

It’s called phpBay. They have a lite version which is free and a more decked out version called phpBay Pro for $49. I got the pro version . It’s worth every cent.

As I said, they go together. … but,their effects are not always equal. Which is why they are given separate terms. They example I gave for ocean and its life forms exemplifies this. It is not likely that an oceanic fish will change the ocean as much as the inverse. I’m sure lewontin knows this and you know this already. It is complex process. I don’t think any “word” will do it justice. It just has to be studied to be understood.

Individualism is another hang up of neodarwinian view. There would be no ocean suitable for fish without the life histories of organisms.

In itself adaptation isn’t a bad metaphor sure, as long as it is recognized that there are complex feedback interactions. This is conveyed to the popular mind the way these notions are employed and explained by many professionals. That’s the whole point of his talk.
