Chris, I do not understand you. In what way is the inheritance of acquired
characteristics in genetic information (or indeed in a cultural substrate)
"cooperative" and "object oriented", and more specifically in what way is it
more so than a darwinian process of differential reproduction in which units
of selection participate in the modification of the environment to make
their own reocurrence more likely?
