George: Sorry for delay in responding on this, I've been busy on other things, and in any case don't have anything much to add. I thought you evolutionists would know more about the ideas of group selection that DSW espouses. He tends to get negative comments from Prof Dawkins, who believes in evolution on the micro scale. The Selfish Gene etc.

I have noticed that DSW has now got into an unseemly row on twitter with another evolution professor with the name Gad Saad. However this seems to be more about politics than evolution. Gad Saad has a book out with the title "The Parasitic Mind", which sounds intriguing. There are so many books I should be reading to keep up to date.

George, happy you are with us, but I don't know enough about him to help.
