Extract

The paper discussed the value of the ‘Optimum Model” in describing the inter-relationship between metric characters and natural fitness. This model represents one extreme of a whole spectrum of models. It can be used to predict changes in the mean of the character under natural selection, but the basic premises underlying such use are not well understood.
