Hi there,
So I want to introduce a very simple concept: swapping out. Swapping out, is the idea that a single member of a species can develop an affinity, with exemplars in the species, such that when a child is born to it, that child will have some of the strengths of those exemplars. This can happen within one generation - as when the parents say "the baby has your eyes" - or it can happen over many generations - as with two white people having a black baby, because there was a black man in the lineage. The point is: strengths gained by the population as a whole, become strengths of the individual.
The mechanism is very simple: the more an affinity exists between a parent of the species, and another member of that species - as when males fight during mating season - the more that parent will encourage seed it possesses, to follow the model of that other member of the species. This can happen over many occasions and gradually means that the total strength demonstrable by the parent's seed, is equivalent to the larger portion of the species as a whole. It is an aggrandising of the peak demonstrable, by any member of that species, in the order in which its adaptations are swapped out.
The more swapped out, a species becomes, the more likely that the Evolution conceived will be a copy of the best possible for that species - the peak. This means that not only is the child stronger, both it and its parents are more familiar to each other - including their instinct. In short, familiar Evolution ensures that survival will be more likely. Not only that, but familiar Evolution that is "swapped out", has greater survival to fall back on - when taking chances with the hunt, becomes more strenuously denied. The concept of play, in this context, is what cements the connection between "swapping out" and "familiar Evolution" - but the point is that they are more successful, the longer they are allowed to play out (not fight or flight at all).
I wonder if you are able to grasp this: that a prey species is able to perfect what it passes on and a predator species is able become familiar with the hunt, through play? That there is a raw instinct, that is able to navigate mating with precisely these goals in mind?
