          Abstract

          A tese que defende a existência de múltiplos níveis da unidade de seleção natural tem sido utilizada para explicar a existência de diferentes níveis de organização biológica. Porém, é possível tomar os níveis diferenciados de organização biológica a partir do conceito de individuação e considerar que também desse ponto de vista há gradações. De fato, acreditamos que os conceitos de indivíduo e de unidade de seleção estão inter-relacionados, de modo que quanto maior for a ação da seleção sobre certo nível de organização biológica, mais individuado ele será.

          Translated abstract

          The assertion that there are multiple levels of units of natural selection has been used as a way to explain the existence of different levels of biological organization. However these differentiated levels may still be thought from the perspective of the concept of individuation, which also presents gradations. In fact, we consider that the concepts of individual and unit of selection are interrelated, in such way that the stronger the action of selection at a certain level of biological organization the more individuated it will be.
