    I didn't see this either, Grant, and would like to. (I've been doing a lot
    fo travelling and have had to delete emails somewhat promiscuously.)

    I do think that Darwinian evolution is, in the case of Homo sapiens, being
    replaced by what I call evolutionary development and management, by
    ourselves of the evolution of our own species. Memes, in this process, are
    only a tool for change, and not blindly evolutionary in the same sense that
    natural selection and mutation are.
