h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So I think I see what you're getting at. You're postulating the existence of a gene that would explain certain human behaviours that you believe are otherwise inexplicable. Fair enough. My question is this:

If someone could explain the behaviour that you're talking about (illogical behaviour), would that eliminate the need for posulating this gene? Ultimately, the existence of a certain gene is an empirical question - I don't *think* this one has been found in the genome, though I suppose it could be found any day now.

You say that people, without this gene, could evolve to perfectly logical behaviour. I disagree. What, to your mind, would perfectly logical behaviour involve? I ask because I think there is no such thing.
