Not true. If my brother reproduces, then about half of my genes are still getting passed on. If my cousin reproduces, 12.5% of my genes are still getting passed on. If the argument is that pure gene selection will determine the outcome, then you can’t treat genetics as some simplistic binary.
- Dalewyn 2y agoYour genes aren't your brother's or cousin's and vice versa. Imagine a tree, if you fail (or choose not) to reproduce then your branch will be a dead end. Other branches who did successfully reproduce will continue the tree.
