@PhilosophyExp @RichardDawkins Seems to be yet another piece conflating 'selfish gene' with 'preference for selfish traits'.
Unless I'm missing something, the fact selfish genes can code for cooperative behaviors is not news? http://bbc.in/12LhZPd @RichardDawkins

@bobchurchill@RichardDawkins I was almost expecting Mary Midgley to pop up (but to be fair, they do kind of clarify in some box text).

@PhilosophyExp@Metamagician@RichardDawkins That's certainly the impression I got from reading Dawkins' book. But that was a while ago. -
@bluharmony@Metamagician Right. It's Bill Hamilton & Robert Trivers, basically. (Not that I really know what I'm talking about!) -
@PhilosophyExp@bluharmony@Metamagician yeah@RichardDawkins said that in The Selfish Gene. Very old news!
