Cells: The True Architects of Life

In his book "The Selfish Gene," Richard Dawkins popularized the idea that organisms are merely vehicles for gene replication. However, this gene-centric view overlooks the crucial role of cells in the process. Cells are not tools created by DNA, but rather entities that interpret genetic information and transform it into an organism. The complexity and beauty of traits in organisms suggest that evolution is not solely driven by selfish genes, but rather a more intricate interplay between genes, cells, and the environment.

"Reevaluating the Role of Genes in Selfishness: A New Book's Perspective"

In his new book, "Selfish Genes in ICU?", biologist Dr. Michael Jarvis questions whether Richard Dawkins's concept of selfish genes still holds up in light of recent discoveries in biology. Jarvis examines the evidence and argues that features such as epigenetics and master regulatory genes don't fit with the idea of genes as selfish units of selection. He concludes that a new theory of evolution may be necessary.

Richard Dawkins Affirms Two-Sex Theory as Scientific Fact

Richard Dawkins, a famous atheist and biologist, strongly defends the reality of biological sex and declares that there are only two sexes. He criticizes LGBTQ activists for pushing "utter nonsense" and bullying those who disagree with them, such as J.K. Rowling and Kathleen Stock. Dawkins believes that science is the way to combat this "nonsense" and that discussions should be allowed. He also criticizes language policing and the idea that there are more than two sexes.
