"So from a genetic perspective, none of the individual organisms can have a 'self-interest' opposed to the 'interests' of the hive. A lion on the other hand doesn't share as many genes with some other lions offspring as he would his own, so he's ok with killing other lions and their offspring if it will help him have more succesful offspring. "

By the way, I forgot to mention this before but now I remember: This makes evolutionary sense in MANY angles. Not just what you were saying, but also the idea that the possibility for evolution has become more probable with the occurance of such varied genes. That indicates some kind of concept beyond just empty evolutionary processing, but some kind of conceptual evolution in which the modes themselves change to be more productive.
I can't exactly pinpoint what I'm trying to say, something about how evolution has occured in such a way that it has made itself(evolution) stronger and more likely.
