“A New Foundation for the Propensity Interpretation of Fitness”

Hi all,
Our next reading group meeting will be next week at 7:30 p.m. in the second floor West Duke Building lounge. We will be discussing Charles Pence and and Grant Ramsey’s “A New Foundation for the Propensity Interpretation of Fitness.” Charles will thankfully be here with us to walk us through the formalisms.
Additionally, we wanted to circulate this paper on “Evolutionary and Newtonian Forces” by Hitchcock and Velasco. It continues our discussion from last week on treating selection as a force. They argue the statisticalist view misunderstands the Newtonian analogy. It is a very good paper, well worth considering.
See you then!
