The examples above serve to demonstrate that there are alternative routes of causality beyond mere “random genetic mutation,” that involve behavior playing an instigating causal role. A more comprehensive and accurate picture of evolution, beyond the neo-Darwinist mainstream, would take into account each of these routes of causality and would involve the notion that behavior is one of the main spokes of the spinning evolutionary wheel. Not only that, but in this more integrated and dynamic account of evolution, an organism’s ethotype is not simply taken as a subordinate factor in relation to the meaning of evolution, wherein evolution is still merely associated with genetic and phenotypic selection and change over time. Rather, from this more comprehensive account, ethotypic selection and change over time ought to be considered part and parcel of the very meaning of evolution, in and of itself. In other words, whenever an organism develops, valuates, and selects a novel “Good Trick,” and/or makes alterations to its enduring patterns of behavior, evolution can be said to have occurred, regardless of any specific genetic or morphological effects. On this basis, a reevaluation of the assumed centrality of genotype and/or phenotype in the classification of organisms, and an emphasis on behavior, is perhaps a chief requirement if the long-awaited and more holistic “extended synthesis”57 is to be arrived at in biology.
