Selfish gene. Dokins R.

We are created by our genes. We, animals, exist to save them, and serve only by machines that provide their survival. The world of selfish gene is a world of brutal competition, ruthless exploitation and deception. Well, what about the acts of altruism observed in nature: bees that commit suicide when they sting the enemy to protect the hive, or birds that risk life in order to warn the flock about the approach of the hawk? Does this contradict the fundamental law on the selfishness of the gene? In no case! Dokins shows that a selfish gene is also a cunning gene. And he cherishes the hope that the look of Homo sapiens is the only one in the globe - he is able to rebel against the intentions of the selfish gene.
