Richard Dawkins coined the term selfish gene as a way of expressing the gene-centred view of evolution, which holds that evolution is best viewed as acting on genes and that selection at the level of organisms or populations almost never overrides selection based on genes. An organism is expected to evolve to maximize its inclusive fitness—the number of copies of its genes passed on globally (rather than by a particular individual). As a result, populations will tend towards an evolutionarily stable strategy.
As this has not happened in Cyprus, was Richard Dawkins right or did he miss an obvious conclusion. Is there a selfish gene responsible for Selfishness, Greed, Racism and Violent Behavoir? Was Oliver stone right with his idea of Natural Born Killers?
Are the worst aspects of human behaviour inhereted or are they nurtured?
Is there not a truly selfish gene that we can tweek and remove all ills of the world including Cyprus so our children can have a better future together?
