the evolution of your genes or the song in your heart?

Some people know that the essence of life (and perhaps of everything) is – vulnerable and
transformative relationships with others. But the dominant narrative in science does not see it that way. Conventional evolutionary biology suggests that the fundamental driver of life is the survival of our genes – and love, if it is relevant at all, is just a strategy our genes use to ensure their survival. In this view, our genetic inheritance determines our bodies, our behaviors and even our feelings, in service to the evolutionary imperatives of survival and reproduction. In a life driven by self-interest, are compassionate sentiments meaningless or delusional, or does the vulnerable song in our hearts have any causal role to play?

Richard A. Watson, Ph.D. is a professor in artificial intelligence and theoretical evolutionary biology at the University of Southampton in the UK. His research has developed an extensive unification of evolutionary theory and learning theory which he uses to address big questions about life, learning, evolution, cognition and love. His current work – explored in this course – uses this scientific foundation to unify opposing worldviews and support a more harmonious and compassionate view of life.
