Quote from the above:-
The HapMap shows SNPs are grouped in neighbourhoods, or haplotypes, and are
usually inherited as blocks of information.

JE:-
Is Dawkins going to rewrite his infamous book as "The Selfish Haplotype
Block"? Are Hamilton et al going to redefine one gene to be one haplotype
block? Is gene centric Neo Darwinism going to change to become haplotype
block centric? Is the selfishness at the haplotype block level of selection
going to be able to force altruism at the Darwinian organism level? Is all
genetic epistasis going to be deleted within haplotype block centric
arguments or is such a proposition just block headed?
