7 Occurrence of Archaea Richard Dawkins (1948~) Evolutionary pressure affects whole cell as well as gene! Gene is part of the whole cell! Gene can be affected just by environment. Single Gene can t dominate the cell evolution. Gene Continuation is the Ultimate Goal of Life and the Basic Property of Life. We and all life is just train to carry GENE! Ernst Mayr (1904~2005) Selfish Gene!! What are WE?? (Source: 133
