Query: First half, interesting - second half, offensively ridiculous

Sykes is a great writer, and he makes the history of science much more fascinating than it probably actually was. But still, a great way to discover how we came to know the things we know.Then the story tries to explain what is happening (and what will happen). Prepare for your intelligence to be insulted. After explaining that sex exists because genes are trying to preserve themselves, he overlooks the little fact that you only have 1/32 of your great-great-grandparent's genes, so the "selfish" genes aren't doing a very good job of sticking around. His book is rife with contradictions - see if you can discover the ones involving dandelions, gay genes, and more.Genes don't plan ahead; Sykes comes across as some kind of animist that sees spirits in genes instead of trees. I talked to two other colleagues, all of us scientists, who had the exact same experience. Enjoyed the first half, never finished the rest.
