Chris:
Religion is a phenotype. Your [Derek's] comments read as if you think it is a genotype.
Bill:
This brings me back to a question I asked a few weeks ago. What (if anything) is a memetic phenotype? That seems to be a harder question than "what is a meme?"
Maybe it would help to be specific.
1) Is religion a memetic phenotype?
2) If so, what make it so?
Best,
Bill
