There is a common assumption that a population changes only when the environment changes. This may well be wrong.
What constitutes a selection pressure is a consequence of both:
1 the environment
2 the properties of the organism.
This implies that there can be a series of changes in a population, theoretically without end, just because the organism changes. This is change apart from any environmental change.
