I described fitness of genes, yes. Previously it seemed like you were saying that an individual of a species had low(zero) fitness if that individual doesn’t reproduce. Further, you seemed to imply that this was the relevant measure, seemingly to say so as a counterpoint to the point that an individual can act in a way that helps to propagate genes that that individual carries without actually reproducing.
It appears that some miscommunication occurred, which may have been me being dense or misinterpreting. Do you know where this miscommunication occurred?
