ganism is only DNA's way of making more DNA. 182
Wilson's claims were solely the result of evolutionist pre-
conceptions. Even among evolutionists, some objected to
Wilson's conjecture. One of them was Stephen Jay Gould:
But Wilson makes much stronger claims. Chapter 27 ... is primar-
ily, an extended speculation on the existence of genes for specific
and variable traits in human behavior – including spite, aggres-
sion, xenophobia, conformity, homosexuality, and the character-
istic behavioral differences between men and women in Western
society. 183
With the evolutionist zoologist Richard Dawkins, evolu-
tionist speculation concerning human behavior that began with
Wilson reached an unbelievable and illogical peak.

As a result of the unscientific claims made about genes by
sociobiology and its extension, evolutionary psychology, the
"selfish gene" deception was put forward and popularized by
Richard Dawkins.
According to him, a living thing's most important objective
is survival and reproduction—in short, protecting its genes and
passing them on to subsequent generations. This claim is en-
tirely speculation.
According to this conjecture of the theory of evolution,
inanimate chemical substances at one time organized them-
selves (however that actually happened), and established a
DNA-based system capable of reproducing itself. The first or-
ganism to emerge from this imaginary chemical soup was a
gene with no purpose other than to multiply. Somehow, it "de-
cided" to copy itself, and began doing so, producing new genes.
As a result of errors during this copying process, genes with dif-
