Survival

The basis of life is surviving. It is the priority over everything, to live because after all it is the basic for everything. This is what Dawkins says in his book. He states in chapter 3 how we are actually not that different from other living species on Earth. Avery single organism on the planet has the single priority of surviving all the obstacles and dangers there are in life. We are constantly surrounded by things that endanger our survival. What the author says is that “We are survival machines, but ‘we’ does not mean just people. It embraces all animals, plants, bacteria, and viruses.” (Page 21)

This book is reminding me of my previous science classes a lot, and it has actually been a great review. I am now seeing things from 8th grade that I didn’t remember well. It gives us so much information that it’s hard to keep up with. Every single paragraph has more information, more support, and more points and that is what I’ve noticed very interesting in the science book.
