Good point. I could have done a better job of emphasizing the other side of the coin. Thanks for the comment!

people often see “survival” and think selection only affects issues of life and death, but really, selections power lies in the effect it has on how many progeny you leave behind that themselves reproduce.

obviously, to reproduce you have to be alive, but also as obvious, you can have a lot of variability past that point.
