But we do expect one and the same explication or definition of relative adaptedness to apply I hardly need to argue that we want our definition of relative adaptedness to be empirically natural selection in terms of relative adaptedness empirical correctness of our definition of relative adaptedness? definition of relative adaptedness fits these facts theory of adaptedness any definition failing (a) relative adaptedness to fit the facts of natural define relative adaptedness in terms of the statistical probability of reproductive success. Even without a definition of relative adaptedness we can be confident that cases like the (D) to be such the definition of relative adaptedness must satisfy desiderata (a)-(d).	./cache/work_apfsakjuyvc5xpdifk7sweduui.pdf	./txt/work_apfsakjuyvc5xpdifk7sweduui.txt
