Ultimately, the "selfish gene theory" could be the precursor to the "determinism" that is being introduced today. It follows the same principle: living beings can only blindly follow what is already predetermined—whether by physical laws or by genes that just seek to replicate themselves. Furthermore, both theories are subject to the same criticism of reductionism.

The possibility of transhumanism seems to suggest that even genes are not the unit of selection. It has to be, more abstractly, information. Evolution will continue in non-genetic animals.
