All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace: Part 3. 'The Monkey in the Machine and the Machine in the Monkey' (2011x3)

: 06, 2011

This episode looks into the selfish gene theory invented by William Hamilton, which holds that humans are machines controlled by genes. Curtis also covers the source of ethnic conflict that was created by Belgian colonialism's artificial creation of a racial divide and the ensuing slaughter that occurred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is a source of raw material for computers and cell phones.
