Can't tell if you're joking, or really are that massively retarded.
@deprecated_ii
So it seems you really are retarded. God bless poa.st for offering you a home.
If you're honest and really looking for answers, I recommend the following books by Richard Dawkins:
The Greatest Show On Earth; Climbing Mount Impossible; and The Selfish Gene.
The Blind Watchmaker should be a good book too, but I personally didn't read it so I can't vouch for it.
Obviously they're not gonna specifically tackle the bagworm moth larvae, or most examples someone might dishonestly throw, but they do a good job at explaining the mechanisms involved, and why "impossible" examples are neither impossible nor unlikely.
@deprecated_ii
You're asking me to explain one of the most complex fields of human knowledge in a fedi post. That's not something I can do. That's not something an evolutionary biologist could do.
I literally gave you the easiest, most mainstream source that can explain the things you proclaim to want to learn. If you were honestly seeking the answers, you would have put them on top of your reading list. But considering your hissy fit, it's quite self evident you're dishonest about it.

>in utero
And that's how you can tell when someone doesn't understand evolution by natural selection.
@PonyPanda @deprecated_ii
Be careful not to hit yourself in your own confusion.
@PonyPanda @deprecated_ii
Your own little "source" clearly points out how Dawkins has an entire book, The Selfish Gene, that focuses on genes as "units of selection", and you somehow think he places less emphasis on selection?
Again, try not to hurt yourself in your own confusion.
@PonyPanda @deprecated_ii
>and not the phenotypical level
Once again, you are completely clueless and hitting yourself in your own confusion. Saying Dawkins doesn't address phenotype is idiotic when he even discusses the cuckoo bird's behavior in one of his books (iirc it should be in The Selfish Gene, but it's been a long time since I've read it). He even has a book literally called Extended Phenotype.
But just as it's fedora level to be an atheist after only reading The God Delusion, it's also fedora level to just say "Dawkins stupid" without knowing a thing about what he worked on.
@PonyPanda
As I said to @deprecated_ii, you're asking me to explain a complex topic in a fedi post, which not even an evolutionary biologist would be able to. I did the best anyone could in such a situation, and gave sources that deal with the topics you and your friend were asking about. But neither you nor your friend @deprecated_ii are actually honest actors looking for answers. You're both dishonest twats that wouldn't listen to explanations and evidence if it was spoon fed to you. So why even bother doing more than I already did.
