In chapter 2 Dawkins talks more about Darwin and his work. He talks about the “survival of the fittest”(pg 13) and how its not completely accurate as the “survival of the stable”(pg 13). He says that things that survive are in a certain way the ones that can remain the same through some time and prove to be durable. Then he goes into complex genetics of how our proteins amino acids and hemoglobin is formed and destroyed in a stable way.

I’ve had different opinions in my life about the survival of the fittest it I true in a way that the most able capable things survive in our world. It’s a simple theory since for example the hawk that never learned to fly will probably have les survival possibilities. But also humans have taken for granted that killing and destroying is what lets us survive but we have seen that if we keep doing this things like global warming are triggered by us and killing us in return. This is why I agree more with the theory of stability since is we are able to proceed in life with longetivity and fecundity without damaging ourselves in the process that is how a species will last. This would be the living form of natural selection it would be the perfect species but its utopic one that is impossible to reach in my opinion.
