You are describing survival of the fittest genes or replicators?

You realize when I say the genes "want" to do do things, this is just the nature of replicators--they replicate, and the better ones are better at replicating, better being defined as replicating more. It's the same thing as saying water "wants" to run downhi

Yes, and I mean wolves "want" to share via means of their instincts.

In biology, it is said that in a stable ecological system, only one species fills a particular niche. I know what you are saying, it does seem that species compete against each other, but "theoretically" one species will win out in the end, and different species will not be competing directly against each other. That is one of those statements that it is easy to find holes in, it's just kind of a general rule
