Suddenly I realized that as complex systems, higher-level biological units such as groups, communities, ecosystems, and human cultures would almost certainly vary in their phenotypic properties and that some of this phenotypic variation might be heritable. Complexity theory became a central theme in my own research.</blockquote> http://www.edge.org/q2008/q08_14.html#wilsonds At Edge.org, David Sloan Wilson wrote an article about his belated appreciation of complexity theory and how it dovetails with group selection:
