    I notice that the term "evolutionary stable stratgey" appears in the
    glossary of Dawkins's _The Extended Phenotype_. Interesting.

    Maybe I'm stuck in a rut carrrying hard to shed excess baggage, but
    contraints might also play a role in stability though *stabilizing*
    selection against variants departing from the standard could be a
    consideration too.

    I suppose people were thinking of absulte stability or the static order of
    the immutable kinds paraded by creationists. Nope. A notochord is important
    to a vertbrate though.
