Natural Selection as a Cause: Probability, Chance, and Selective
... What does the coin-tossing example demonstrate? That when a type of outcome depends on chance, different outcomes may have the same probabilistic cause (here, it’s the relevant physical set-up). This is the distinctive mark of a probabilistic cause. Let us make clear what "probabilistic cause" mean ...
