Abstract
Abstract The ‘Selfish Gene Theory’ can be applied to man when data from modern evolutionary biology, ethology and anthropology are taken into account. Thus, all human behavior modes, including the ones that are usually considered to be culturally determined, are compatible with the theory; i.e. also the human genes attempt to spread a maximum number of their copies. This approach opens new avenues for ethics, the behavioral and the social sciences by providing them with an insight into the more basic causes of individual and social behavior, and hence with the tools for its explanation, quantification and prediction.
