1. I was wondering if Inmendham has heard about Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics. By his experiments with peas, he established that allelles of genes are expressed in certain percentages in future generations, so characteristics (traits) do not blend, do not dilute (otherwise we would all be hermaphrodites!). I assume that in Inmendham's thought experiment the dog has a new allelle for hearing with four ears, instead of with two ears.
Sub-questions: Has he heard of symbiosis, or mutualism, when both organisms profit from their association? Has he heard of cooperation (ants, for ex.)?
2. Has he read Richard Dawkins' book "The Selfish Gene"? Or has he read only the title? Because he often mentions the title, but never shows if he is acquainted with the content of the book.
