Richard Dawkins claims that evolution occurs gradually by cumulative selection on a selfish gene-by-gene basis. However, if we analyze his logic, we can see that evolution is more likely to occur in discontinuous equilibrium than in cumulative selection. We use the example of the Weasel Program and the concept of ESS to refute Dawkins’ argument.   In his perhaps most famous book, The...
