You being born is the ultimate proof of genes having been passed on. In what way is that not sufficient?

  But you haven't passed on any genes. You have only been passed genes. That is, if the choice of language confuses people: You have only been given those genes. You haven't given any genes to anyone else who can give those genes further, which is what matters in an evolutionary perspective.

    And your parents passing on their genes to you doesn't matter, from an evolutionary perspective? You have only "been given" those genes, as if by magic?

      Uh?
