Adaptation and Natural Selection
Meiotic Drive
On page 27, the word "meiotic drive" appeared, and Williams' discussion in pp. 117-9 is related with this. First, you should understand what "meiotic drive" is; see http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/ridley/a-z/Meiotic_drive.asp. Williams says that a certain case (due to Lewontin) involving meiotic drive may be an evidence for group selection.
