Kin altruism..

Honestly, Dawkins might be as wise as he is, and may have as much proof as he has. But I have to say that I disagree with the fact that altruism in human is caused by the genes.

It sounds way to awkward. I mean, it is not strange to find an altruistic person here or there, but, to say that actions of that such are driven by your genes is way to strange.

Suddenly, you are not in control. You do what your genes tell you to do. Since I strongly believe that there is free will, and that you make your own decision, thus your own destiny. I don't like this idea at all. This means that you don't really choose your personality, in a way. I don't know how deep are the genes involved in our behavior but my educated guess is that if they can make you kill yourself in order to save your brother, or sister, then they probably control much more than what we think.

As to explain what I wrote first. Its not that I disagree with him. He probably is mostly right. But, I don't want to believe that it is like that.

Maybe genes do have something to do. But Your mind, or your consciousness, will have a different point of view.

This ideas are getting more complex with every chapter, and I the feeling that I wont like what will be said... Yet, he has the proofs. He wrote the book. So I might as well accept his theories.
