Natural selection may be selfish (in a metaphorical sense), but if so, it's selfish about genes, not individuals.The story goes that J. B. S. Haldane was asked if he would give his life to save his brother and he said he wouldn't, but he would happily do so for two brothers or eight cousins.Only a biologist would say something like that, but Haldane was nicely expressing how evolution works.
