GENE OWNERSHIP. “Where Dawkins talks of selfish genes, Noble talks of prisoner genes. Where Dawkins writes of genes: “They are in you and me; they created us, body and mind; and their preservation is the ultimate rationale for our existence”, Noble writes: “They are in you and me; we are the system that allows their code to be read; and their preservation is totally dependent on the joy we experience in reproducing ourselves (our joy, not theirs!). We are the ultimate rationale for their existence.”
