Traits species-typical

I suggest that we take the acquisition of the total set of species-typical traits (however that is to be measured empirically) to be a maximum specification of the process of development. Anything more exhaustive than species-typical might entail that new species could not evolve. As a minimum bound, I suggest the following evolutionary specification - development is the acquisition of the capacity to reproduce. It will become clear in a moment why I bracket the process of development in this way. First, though, let us consider the sorts of questions about development at multiple levels of evolutionary transition that must be addressed if we are to understand units of evolutionary transition in terms of the propagation of developmental capacities. [Pg.215]
