yup
then one could also say that every social level sacrifice (irrespective of
what the person involved may beleive, wether or not s/he can beleive
aside) that we humans make can also be explained through benefit to its
own DNA.
the nobel prize
why would a little country sitting in europe sacrifice a whole chunk of
money to some gent sipping tea in Japan?
lets see: what the biological goal again? to get my dna accross.
now an ant shares say 97% of it's dna with me. so i may put animal rights
somewhere as being biological. then other humans shere even more dna with
me, so a human life is worth more biologicaly than an ant as we share say
99.997% of our dna.
but now within humans who are more important? this gets to be a mess. ones
immediate family is one way, so they get top priority. but who else then?
well there are visual signs - same skin similar dna - same accent -
similar dna. same thoughts similar dna.
the story books tell us that when Russell was imprisoned, one of his most
vocal critics tried to help him. why? - they were both of one kind.
so social = dna
