I don't recall which of Dawkins' books it was - there is discussion around the incorporation in The Ancestor's Tale but not AFAIK the competition although that seems sensible.Midgley 14:54, 4 January 2006 (CET)
- I'm almost certain that it was The Selfish Gene. Not certain enough to put it in though so I'll check when I go home on Thursday. Rupert 14:59, 4 January 2006 (CET)
- My mistake - sorry about that. It was Bryan Sykes in Adam's Curse, chapter 11 - The separation of the sexes. Rupert 20:36, 5 January 2006 (CET)
