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.
