>>I have not defined 'success' or 'biological success', I have merely pointed out the intutive limitiations of your definition. My own definitions (which I have not provided) have no such limitations.<<

Would you like to put your definition of biological success on the table?

>>Now you have gotten more weird trying to link 'responsibility' and 'biological success'. Does your definition of 'biological success' also apply to animals and plants?<<

Yes.

>>How much 'responsibility' does a blowfly have to its grandchildren?<<

The blowfly's grandchild is the product of his grandparents' best efforts.

>>How many biologists would be happy with a definition of 'biological success' which was human-centric?<<

I don't accept that my definition is particularly biased towards people - is yours, whatever it is?

>>I have a request: Clearly you have not throught the issues through, and are just posting things that come into you head. Can you go away and actually think about the issue before you post again? Thanks.<<

Thanks for helping me sell my definition of biological success.
