RE: The biological goal of the human mind

Since the nature of life is that it survives, is it not a necessary 
conclusion that the goal of the species is to survive? If, within the 
behavior of an organism, survival of the species were subjugated to any 
other task, would that not hinder the ability of the species to survive and 
thus eventually cause it NOT to survive?
This seems obvious to me, but I would welcome anyone to offer data in 
correction. Also, if anyone wished to have me offer evidence of my position, 
I would be happy to do that as well.

In resopnse to:

>Let me point out your teleological error here: evolution has no goal.

>>They are not MY statistics, see THE SPIRIT IN THE GENE, p. 171.  What's
