What is the best evidence for natural selection as the major driver of evolution?
Trying to understand the modern synthesis w/o getting stuck in semantics.

Friend gave me Ride of a Lifetime, fun read. Ike Perlmutter (Marvel CEO) is great. No public interviews or headshots. Greets Bob Iger (Disney CEO) in an acquisition discussion with a glass of water and banana from Costco.

@celinehalioua notes Her2 is the obvious example here.

Have any target discovery/validation biotechs successfully taken a drug to market based on an internally discovered target? Current baseline for this is 'no', but I'm sure one must exist.

Millenium, year 1 - $8M in revenue. I think Genentech was in the black <2 yrs from starting. Curious what founding year revenue looks like for the most successful companies in bio. pic.twitter.com/MiOsPnQy0T

5/n Related to an issue I don’t understand in stat physics where people talk about the full state space but not trajectories that could just be totally inaccessible given some starting point

4/n Seems like theorizing about a type of evolution that only selected for broken organisms - just not going to happen pragmatically

3/n Leaving aside how you define happiness, isn’t this just illogical (like, philosophy is considering situations the laws of human nature don’t allow us to explore)?

2/n The central argument (afaik) is that, comparing two populations, more people w/ on average less happiness is better as long as the sum of happiness over everyone is larger

I'm extremely confused re how to think about 'levels of selection' in evolution. If anyone can explain this clearly or has good links please lmk, would be insanely grateful!
Looking for explanations that mathematician-types would be aesthetically satisfied w/.

Consider: millions of years ago our antecedents gave a massive sacrifice of their left hemisphere.
We lost a tremendous amount of short term memory and replaced it with Broca’s, Wernicke & the phonological loop.
But why?
So we can—talk.
