remember that it's species, not individuals, that evolve.
I think Richard Dawking and I would disagree. Species do not evolve any more that indivituals, the gene is the basic unit of evolution. "A species" is a arbitrary definition created by man, and is no more subject to evolving than an individual multicellular creature. A gene is either passed on to the next generation or it's not, thats evolution at work.
Anyway, read The Selfish Gene.

I have a tripleheaded X, with an old hercules monocrome display as my third monitor. I have to run two X server because the old hercules cards are not supported in X ver4, but everything links up fine with x2x. And the hercules monitor gives my just the 720x348 mono-pixles I needed so badly!!

I am much too perspicacious to be taken in by such a spurious argument!
