Species, Individual, Overman

The neo-Schophenhauerian thesis--"The species is everything, one is always none"--that is the theme of #1 of The Gay Science, runs aground when the species is Man and the Individual is an Overman.  Now, perhaps, the principle also applies to the race of Overmen, or, perhaps, as some seem to interpret it, Nietzsche inverts it in the case of the latter, i. e. holding that the Individual is all and the collective is nothing.  However, in passages such as #33 of the 'Expeditions' chapter of Twilight of the Idols, and #785 of the Will to Power collection, the Individual is conceived as cumulative, i. e. as an incorporation of the entire species, if not of all the preceding species, as well, i. e. as the product of a process that is comparable to Darwinian Evolution and Whiteheadian Concrescence.  From that perspective, it is the teacher of the Overman, not that of the refuted thesis, who gets the last laugh.
