How exactly does the "selfish gene" theory explain the biological basis of greed?
-
the selfish gene theory itself does not explain this concept
this is gene-environment interaction, which on its own turn genes on or off
so this an interaction between nature and nurture
what draws the line between hoarding and collecting for instance
antique collectors who have storages full, a path through their house like a goat trail
still they consider themselves to be fully functioning
there is no classification for these concepts in the DSM
which doesn't mean there shouldn't be
