I remember asking a friend who was majoring in biology if he read it, and he said &quot;of course not, it&#x27;s bullshit&quot;. When I wondered why he said &quot;the book defends that evolution happens at the gene level, instead of the individual&quot;. I said that, yeah, that was the whole point of the book, and why it was awesome.<p>So I guess some people don&#x27;t like to question their assumptions about the world, like danieltillett said.
