Redefining Reality - The Intellectual Implications of Modern Science

This fact leads to our fourth pillar of Darwinian theory: You must
get a date before you can have children. Mate selection becomes
important in terms of the ability to spread properties through a
population over generations. The more attractive an organism is,
the more likely it is to mate and, thereby, pass on its traits to the
next generation.
Combined, these four principles give us the basis of Darwin’s
theory, which forced a radical shift in the way we see the world.
Although nature may be well-ordered, with interlocking parts, no
longer is it a static system.
