Some people try to avoid the politics of this subject. That seems unwise - there are reasons why existing economic systems do not reward efficiency as an absolute value, and they do seem to have to do with the difficulty of large scale cooperation.
The "reach" here is the assertion that Darwin is remembered mostly for ecological selection not sexual selection "because" of Victorian mores.
If someone wants to rewrite that, I won't object, but the idea that natural selection consists only of ecological selection has never been valid at all. Modern biologists are starting to believe that sexual selection matters more.
"Proponents argue that all natural life forms minimize and ecological niches remove failures."
This is not a sensible sentence. Could someone who knows what the intended meaning is please rewrite it?
2004/08/15: Can someone provide the source for "its later codification as a field of study to Lynn Margulis."? I have not found any reference that Lynn wrote on the subject of Biomimicry.
Not Lyn Margulis
