The Replicators

This second chapter of ¨The Selfish Gene¨ is a little bit shorter than last chapter, but I found it more complex and difficult to understand the point Dawkins was debating. The first thing that confused me, was a term used in the first sentences of the chapter. ¨In the beginning was simplicity.¨ SIMPLICITY. The dictionary definition for this term is: the quality or condition of being easy to understand or do. After continue on reading through the chapter, I found again the word simplicity and I was able to adapt that definition to the context of this chapter.
