Genetic anthropomorphism

In evolutionary biology, genetic anthropomorphism refers to "thinking like a gene". The central question is "if I were a gene, what would I do in order to reproduce myself". The question is an obvious fallacy since genes are incapable of thought. However, natural selection does act in such a way that those that are most successful at reproducing themselves prosper. Thinking like a gene enables the results to be visualised. This is related to a philosophical tool known as the intentional stance.
