We have seen that the assertion that all human behavior can be reduced to the "selfish gene" is false. Genetic determinism is not to be found - humans, more than any other species on the planet, have the capacity to "rebel" against the interests of their genes. A large part of human psychology results from cultural influences.
"Gene morality" is likewise a figment of the imagination.
