Scientist at Work - Edward O. Wilson - E.O Wilson Takes Cue From Ants in His Views on Human Social Evolution - NYTimes.com: "Dr. Wilson, changing his mind because of new data about the genetics of ant colonies, now believes that natural selection operates at many levels, including at the level of a social group."

Not only does selection operate at many levels, but selection operates on the selection process itself leading to the type of exponential change that can account for the speed at which evolution occurs.
