This is the last longish video of this series, the remaining ones will be shorter. But this topic is the most important one. It describes genes as not only competing, but also co-operating, well, they would have to, in order to build the "vehicles" (organisms) through which they continue to replicate. And, replicating is the thing that genes do. Those which do not co-operate, don't get replicated, those which co-operate go on to the next generation, and the next, and so forth.
