โœฆ Synopsis

The book itself is not badly written with some interesting ideas.
But...
Here is the big hole.
If as Dawkins says all species competed openly, and us humans are the top place holders in the struggle for existence.
Then, where are the second place holders???
E.g. in the Olympics ( or any other open/free/un-manipulated competition)you see the gold medal, the silver medal and the bronze medal winner.
In the race among the millions of species, if we humans have invented Google/amazon/space shuttle etc etc and are therefore the gold medal winners.
How come no other species has invented the bullock cart yet?
For God's sake the reptiles still go naked!
And they have supposedly been around longer than us!

So, conceptually the idea behind the book has this big flaw.
