A Wilsonian Metaphor
a: The phenotype ~
b: rolling down a genetic landscape
What: "To use a metaphor presented by E.0. Wilson, the phenotype is like a ball rolling down a genetic landscape, with environment pushing it out of some channels into others. Some channels in the genetic landscape are deep, so that few kinds of environments can push us out of them, while others are quite shallow"
