Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Javier Suarez. He is lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Oviedo in Spain. And today we're going to talk about his book, which he wrote together with Elizabeth Lloyd, Units of Selection.
So Dr. Suarez, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one. Thank you. Thank you for having me here.
It's my honor to be here actually. Thank you. So could you would you like to start by giving a sort of an introduction to the discussion surrounding units or levels of selection in the context of evolutionary biology and philosophy of biology? Yes, sure.
