Are you talking about Dawkins' book?
Because the point of Dawkins theory was that it's genes, not organisms that are the unit of competition in evolution. It may seem pretty obvious now, but around the time he was writing it a lot of people were talking about how evolution selects for or against species or individual organisms. The book doesn't have any really 'crazy' ideas, but it definitely clarified evolutionary theory, especially at the time it was written.
Organisms don't evolve, genes do, thats the point of the book in a nutshell.
And the point of the theory was explicitly not that evolution is about making organisms (or genes for that matter) "better". Evolution to Dawkins was simply the result of the differential reproductive success of different genes. Which in case any of you were wondering, is in fact what evolution is about.
