Futuyma, Natural selection as totally impersonal process

http://www.actionbioscience.org/evolution/futuyma.html

ActionBioscience.org: Can natural selection select for future needs of a species?

Futuyma: No, because natural selection is not like Mother Nature watching over us. Since natural selection is totally an impersonal process that is nothing more than a difference, generation by generation, in the reproductive success of one genome over another, there’s no way that it can look forward to the future or guard against the possibility of extinction. What individuals have right now that gives them superior adaptation may lead to disaster tomorrow.”

(Futuyma is the author of the widely used college text, Evolutionary Biology)
