Aggression :/

All the chapters of the book, The Selfish Gene, have a way to describe life in a different way. It uses different parts of the novel to show different aspects of life in the point of view of Dawkins. This raises the question, "Which of these descriptions is true and which is false?" In chapter 5 of the book the genes are described to have strengthened their instinct and awareness of the other genes that are dangers to their elimination in the natural selection process. These machines with minds of their own are aware that they can be deceived easily and if done, they shall not be victorious in the selection. The spots in the selection are few and any competition from any species could be detrimental to the gene. the selection not only chooses the genes by the greatness of the specie, but it also values how well the gene uses its surroundings and environment for survival.

A genes environment includes everything around it at all times. Not only does it include the rocks, rivers, and setting; but it also includes the other genes which are also in the rigorous race for survival. In order to use all of its environment to help its chance for survival, the gene must use the other genes in its environment to its advantage, and it must use the other genes' skills to help them with their own chances in the race. This "using other species for your own good" became known as an individual interpretation of animal aggression. This made known that it was not only the homosapiens who could and would kill their own species in order to win the benefit of the situation, the other species would also kill and do whatever they could to get them further ahead in the race to survival.

What the species in the race fail to realize is that it would be more beneficial to them to be more like doves. These harmless creatures have been in the race for a long time and do not deceive their own family specie or any other specie alive in their environment, even if they cause a threat to their chance of survival. Being like a dove would help them because it is easier to be selected as a group them to be enemies always on the lookout for the other, killing each other off as life goes on without the help of natural selection. Instead, each specie uses its talents and strengths to try and outwit the other genes. This theory is a conspiracy and the only negative effect of a conspiracy is that it, like the trust once held within the species, can be abused. People can add and take away from conspiracies according to their own personal morals and beliefs. most people agree with this conspiracy of the most beneficial thing for all is to act like harmless doves, but the ones who strongly disagree and have good arguments against it will make conflicts with anyone and everyone. This leads us to the answer that each description depends on your own point of view. Dawkins gives his ideas as another option to add or think about other than your own.
