 The second key aspect of genic selectionists’ views on interactors is the desire to do away with them entirely. Dawkins is aware that the vehicle concept is “fundamental to the predominant orthodox approach to natural selection” (1982b: 116). Nevertheless, he rejects this approach in The Extended Phenotype, claiming, “the main purpose of this book is to draw attention to the weaknesses of the whole vehicle concept” (1982b: 115). But this “vehicle” approach is not equivalent to “the interactor question”; it encompasses a much more restricted approach.
