Jay,
You’re right as you mean it. Most people are referring to bias within a group prefering one choice over the other. I don’t know how to fix this terminological problem, of conflating a reproductive process with a behavioral process even when there is a minor correlation between psychological biases and genetic factors.

All individuals within a group may favor say neotenic mating whenever possible. Is this “group selection”? No. It’s still individual selection. But spread of the selection through the group does occur. Even if only expressed say in certain classes.

This is the only thing (over the years) I’ve disagreed with you on because blatantly stating ‘group selection doesn’t exist’ is technically correct, but doesn’t educate those who are conflating the term across domains. And I’d like to ‘fix the confusion’ so to speak.

And maybe you could apply a little ‘education’ instead of nullification to improve matters.

Hugs. 😉
