The Selfish Gene - Chapter 9 - Review

Continuing his theme that only genes matter. Dawkins tries to assign numerical values to the 'payoff' of raising a child. He compares strategies of 'coyness' versus 'philandering' in the context of human relations.
Dawkins considers male sex cells to be more 'dishonest' than female eggs since they are smaller and faster?? Overall a view of humanity that is de-humanizing and implicitly suggestive of eugenics. Void of any emotion, romance or spirituality.
