TP-- Sorry, telos is Greek for end; teleology, the investigation of ends; teleological, an explanation in terms of the implicit purpose of something. Evolution is non- teleological, which means that it denies that there is any purpose to biological change. However, it LOOKS as if there might be a trend toward intelligence and complexity, a view that Gould wanted to bury once and for all. I am surprised, since I used it earlier, that this is the first time you have asked.
