The actual effect of any adaptive behaviour must be through the genes, but evolution could not work directly on a belief about genes. Our psychology may act against our genes if we are taken out of the environment in which we evolved; for example the number of children people choose to have in the modern world is inversely proportional to the resources they control. -- Stathis Papaioannou
