As though at one time in the distant past a single cell made a decision about what it wanted for the future after it was gone, offspring. This is really absurd. They put complex thinking and planning into a single cell as though it had a big brain to figure out it's goals and then to design itself to carry them out. I am fed up with the ridiculousness of putting personality and complex thoughts and abilities to carry them out into one cell creatures. The only way a single cell would compete to live and propagate would be if someone who designed it, who did think, put those properties into it.
I agree. The author of the article, Sarah Fecht, is still a college student. Social cooperation among individuals of a species can be beneficial to the survival of the species which is what evolution is really about. She's making a common mistake by assuming that survival solely rewards the selfish.
