He came up with the entire model of the gene having "agency". Never mind how epigenetics and proteomics together account for at least a plurality of phenotypic expression.
If we are a spreading mechanism for DNA, we're a really shitty one, considering that every single generation alters a small quantity of it and requires half of it to be jumbled with other DNA from elsewhere.
This is your brain on Dawkins.
Dawkins, if anything, would identify DNA with the body. I'm rejecting that connection entirely.
