> most biologists think that evolution selects

It's my understanding that gene-centered view is the main view among evolutionary biologists.

Multi-level adaptation seems to have fallen under lack of evidence. Evidence from nature, mathematical theory, and evolutionary simulations seem to back up selfish gene theory. There are still people like David Sloan Wilson who work on it.
