{"quotes":[{"text":"I am suggesting here that organisms have a built-I capability of adapting to their environment. I am suggesting that to the extent that evolution occurs, it occurs at the level of the organism. This suggestion differs sharply from the thesis of the NDT, which holds that evolution occurs only at the level of the population. Organisms contain within themselves the information that enables them to develop a phenotype adaptive to a variety of environments. The adaptation can occur by a change in the genome through a genetic change triggered by the environment, or it can occur without any genetic change.","author":"Lee Spetner","tags":["adaptation","environmental-evolution","evolution","genetic-change","genome","neo-darwinism","phenotypes"],"id":10503,"author_id":"Lee+Spetner"},{"text":"Lucy's polls were sometimes kind of violent.","author":"Charles M.
