Join or Die: The Ultimate Choice Within Dawkins View

I this chapter Dawkins (actually W.D Hamilton...) mentions the first or second interesting points in the book. The fact of living in a compound, in group, in society is the key and the base for human life, and at last this applies for both animals (that he bases every example on) and on humans. "You scratch my back I'll ride on yours"(166). This may very well be the essence of our civilization, because without somebody riding on our back or scratching it we wouldn't have a society, and this way we would have no way of living as single units. We are a team. We rely on each other. Society was never meant to exist-or for that matter not even flourish. We might not know it, but since birth, since the animal is conceived it is bound to co-exist with other beings, with the world. Life is not possible without the significant other, without the other 23 chromosomes (as Dawkins would like to see it put). Yes, he is correct with everything he poses, but a flaw exists on his book. A very important one, one that means the difference between understanding what the book says, and what actually is going on outside of the ink and paper. Dawkins talks about the genes, yes, but he never mentions current or actual situation of this evolving mad machine. He does not see, he omits the fact that humans actually have a social part in their lives, that is influenced obviously by what he does explain in the book. The current social condition, has interfered with the original theorem of evolution. We are forgetting we need help from other individuals, and we are isolating ourselves mentally and socially in a cocoon of doom. Our evolution, the perfect Dawkins evolution has begun its ultimate stage: retro-evolution, the fact of being so developed, that what he have built, will end up destroying us.But this is a totally separate matter that will one day be recorded by the successful beings that survive and explore the unsuccessful gene that we evolved into, into the selfish gene, the gene in its own doom cocoon.
