The concept that genes are the primary drivers of evolutionary processes, and they are "selfish" in the sense that their main goal is to replicate themselves. This idea emphasizes that genes are the units of natural selection and that organisms, including humans, are essentially vehicles or survival machines that exist to ensure the replication of their genes.
The Selfish Gene can also relate to Dawkinian memes as while genes are units of biological information that are passed from one generation to the next, memes are units of cultural information that are transmitted through human culture and society. Memes can be ideas, behaviors, languages, fashion trends, and more.
