Abstract This paper applies philosophical tools from the causalists/statisticalists debate to evo-devo idea of variational tendencies as propensities biasing phenotypic change. It contends that properties are present in a statistical sense some population dynamics models, particularly quantitative genetics ones, providing ultimate explanations . further argues these properties, contrary recent views, cannot be subsumed under natural selection. Finally, it advocates for causalist interpretation explanations, where indirectly refer evo-devo’s propensities.
