  • “natural selection” obscure the fact that the idea of the web of life (expressed in less pugnacious and bloodthirsty language) replaced old notions of interre - lationships by design, and provided a basis in evolu - tionary theory for modern ideas of ecology, the biotic community, the biocenose, and its fashionable and contemporary theoretical expression, the ecosystem.
