>that one means anything that results in reproduction gets passed on No, it doesn't. Just because you reproduce does not mean your genes will get passed down more than a generation, especially if there is a method of reproduction that is more successful. The agency is exactly that. It's an emergent ranking of how successful certain genes are. There is no agency. For the individual there is only the response to the environment given their genetic makeup.
