Evolutionary change at the morphological, functional, and behavioral levels results from the process of natural selection, operating The economist also discovers that hitherto overlooked transaction factors are relevant: elasticity takes on different values factor that is considered relevant to the theory of natural selection.	./cache/work_hbvkp3j75vfevooo7qdpes55ke.pdf	./txt/work_hbvkp3j75vfevooo7qdpes55ke.txt
