this is the most influential science book of all time
Nigger
Except most of the people influenced by it didnt read it and misinterpreted the title.
>>518722683this and EO Wilson's Sociobiology
>>518722683why was gene selfish? im pretty sure the elements, atoms ,cells all collaborate to make all this "life" thing happen
>>518722683lol no that is definitely something by Euclid, Newtons Principia, or Darwin or Mendels bookyoure a dumbassthat book prolly doesnt make it to the top 100 most influential science books
>>518722683I liked all the biological stuff but skipped any religious stuff, I don't really care if he is atheist. I feel it did make me less ignorant, I think the book is good for people interested in science but are just the average guy. It also made me sort of compare humans to cattle fairly often like how farmers will breed the biggest animals to get the most meat, people will do that when selecting partners.
>>518722683I like shellfish , especially crab
>>518725225King crab is best, but I’ll take some snow crab in a pinch (get it?)
>>518722683I'm really sick of seeing your threads.
>>518722683very unfortunately.
>>518723637The sole purpose of life is gene replication. Life is a war where genes are competing against one another to be the ones who replicate. Nothing else not even you as an individual matters.
>>518723637it is tongue in cheek about the world view that people associate with Darwinism being egotistical and a mean idea compared to altruistic teachings and religious fantasy utopias. But he actively shows that the entire concept of working together and social animals are more successful in the long run, HOWEVER, if you don't fuck, you are fucked. Procreation is the sole purpose of life. A gene has to "be selfish", ie make sure it manages to be part of the 50% of genes you pass on, to be successful in its life. 90% of the book explains this mechanism with worker bees who feel obligated to help the queen because they are more related to her than to each other or the drones. their genes are "selfish" in enacting a policy that makes sure their copies survive

>>518727320
>>518722683Its high school level biology.
>everyone's a sociopath: the bookI already know this. Some races have more sociopaths than others.
>>518722683how does /pol/ cope with the fact than an atheist invented memes?>The word meme itself is a neologism coined by Richard Dawkins, originating from his 1976 book The Selfish Gene.[14]
>>518728440if this is taught in italian high schools, your country did everything right. But seeing adult italians, i know this isn't the case
>>518729411dude... that's irish flag...
>>518729411Race mixing causes poorer colour vision. Its why Americans have such a hard time distinguishing European flags.
>post-Hegel materialist hodgepodgeHard pass.
>>518728895he didn't invent memes he coined the phrase
>>518727233>Procreation is the sole purpose of lifedid he ever explain why do we , le conscious beings, need to follow the animal pattern?
