Abstract

Our response contains a definition of niche construction, illustrations of how it changes the evolutionary process, and clarifications of om conceptual model. We argue that the introduction of niche construction into evolutionary thinking earns its keep; we illustrate this argument in our discussion of rates of geativity, the EEA (environment of evolutionary adaptedness), and group selection.
