I like Dawkins, and Midgely's critique of The Selfish Gene was willfully obtuse:
"Genes cannot be selfish or unselfish, any more than atoms can be jealous, elephants abstract or biscuits teleological".
As Dawkins replied, that's as idiotic as explaining to a particle physicist that elementary particles cannot be charming.
I suspect she's never actually read any Dawkins.
