Quotation of the Minute
"The phrase 'the child should cheat' means that genes that tend to make children cheat have an advantage in the gene pool. If there is a human moral to be drawn, it is that we must teach our children altruism, for we cannot expect it to be part of their biological nature." Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene (New edition, New York: Oxford University Press, 1989), p. 139.
