We need to separate the process of evolution - which is, indeed, a self-serving process - and the actual motivations of animals.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The study of evolution is an evolution in itself.
Humanity evolves when we realise that animals have the same rights to the Earth as we do.
Life is a process of evolution.
Evolution thus is merely contingent on certain processes articulated by Darwin: variation and selection.
Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.
If you watch animals objectively for any length of time, you're driven to the conclusion that their main aim in life is to pass on their genes to the next generation.
Theories of evolution must provide for the creative acts which brought such theories into existence.
We are glorious accidents of an unpredictable process with no drive to complexity, not the expected results of evolutionary principles that yearn to produce a creature capable of understanding the mode of its own necessary construction.
Our animal origins are constantly lurking behind, even if they are filtered through complicated social evolution.
Evolution is an indispensable component of any satisfying explanation of our psychology.
