Evolution as a dynamic does build things that are able to reproduce.

  On the simplest level. Direct reproduction is far from the only way to propel your genes. You can never have kids, but lead your ethnic group to win a genocidal war against its neighbours, and will be much more successful at it.

    With complex minds like those of human beings it can't even be reduced to just genetic survival. Memetic survival is often weighted just as much, if not more.

      But then it's evolution of memes, not genes, which is a different evolution. Wait. Is this thread becoming a weak paraphrase of The Selfish Gene?
