antlers. this is why they are on the cover of the book. explain to me the darwin metaphor about the costs of that competition. >> smith thought that individual interests and social interests were largely in harmony and off then are. darwin saw that individual animals had traits that served their own individual purposes, often those traits were good for the larger groups that they belonged to. what he saw in a way that i don't think smith saw as clearly was that evolution favors traits precisely because they foster individual reproductive success whether or not they have a good effect on the larger group. that's beside the point. so the antlers are a nice example because they clearly were selected for because they help bulls win their battles with one another for access to females. if you don't win those battles, you don't pass your stuff along
