    Nah, humans clearly have a self-destructive streak that is in no way linked to survival. The balance is different in each individual, but it's there.

    Go tell that to homosexuals.
    Well, I don't know. You could look at the self destructive streak as a way to weed out the weak.

    That contradicts Viking's statement that survival motivates every individual. You don't survive if you weed yourself out, do you?

    Group survival as motivation?

    You realise I'm siding with Proffessor Dawkins here?

    I do, I do. I just sent Richard an email and he is delighted.

    Not really unfortunate, because those men are less likely to get themselves or their mates killed. There's more than one way to skin a cat.
