It is easy to see how this concept might occur to a biologist. These scientists spend their lives studying lower forms of life -animals, insects and plants-and they quickly observed that the entire life cycle of a potato bug or a fruit fly is devoted to insuring the survival of the species. But we are not potato bugs...
