New studies show that choosing a productive group of animals leads to better results than picking one strong leader. In hen farming, group selection stopped aggression and increased egg production significantly compared to individual selection.

Thanks for this @robin!

I found your piece insight-full, and relevant to the sense-making journey I've been on with several others

Some of us are exploring how social technologies like #hylo (cc @tibetsprague) can support "#prosocial coordination for a thriving planet":

Our work draws partly on evolutionary principles. Including the role #Ostrom's "core design principles" can play in facilitating multi-level or #GroupSelection & subsequent #MajorEvolutionaryTransitions
