Spandrel (biology)
Thank you for your additions to the Spandrel (biology) article. I did, however, notice a few problems with your additions. Although you have sources in your sandbox, you cited no sources in your additions to the article. Please add citations for your additions. The other problem has to do with content. You said: "It is thought in the scientific community today that everything an animal has developed that has a positive effect on that animal’s fitness was due to natural selection or some adaptation. Gould and Lewontin propose an alternative hypothesis to this saying that due to adaptation and natural selection, byproducts are formed in addition." While this was (or may have been) reflective of thinking back in 1979 when Lewontin and Gould published their paper, their paper was highly influential in the way that people thought about adaptation. You need to fix the tense in that statement to make it clear that this was the way people thought, over 35 years ago. It isn't necessarily reflective of the way people think today.
