| Abstract: | Abstract. Although there is no questioning the heroism of those who "rebel against the selfish replicators" their task seems very nearly insurmountable. I question whether anyone can formulate a broadly acceptable moral system that will not in some respects be constrained by the legacy of generations spent as selfish and kin-selected replicators. |
