                     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-
