The body is a victim or a field of battle, and it is also a means of transmitting gene aspirations. This is the last saying of biologists, and it undermines the argument that genes are prescriptions waiting in a negative to reproduce according to the collective needs of the organism.
Genes grapple with each other, and the idea that the genome is a field for a battle between parental genes and infantry genes or between male and female genes is a story rarely found outside a small group of evolutionary biologists, but it has deeply shaken the philosophical foundations of biology.
For example, each genome is much more complex than necessary. Some contain real genes of a completely different kind and contain many seemingly insignificant extensions, like a book that writes itself and then adds, deletes, and modifies over time. Genes behave as if they were selfishly not consciously But the backlash: genes that adopt this behavior thrive and genes that do not do so do not thrive. This is very useful in what is now widely known as "DNA".
In the 1970s, biology had a 50-year history of physics, a collapse of certainty, stability and inevitability, to replace a world of volatility, change and unpredictability. The genome that has been decimated in this generation is only one shot of a document that never changes. There is no final edition of the genome book.
