-It's quite hard, as Humans, not to feel special.
-So many authors claims that we are.
-The history of science is actually a long course of "decentralisation", following the mediocrity principle:
-
-- We're not at the center of the solar system
-- We are animals like the others
+The history of science is a story of putting the humans out of the centre:
+The earth is not at the centre of the solar system, much less at the centre of the Universe.
+Biologically, humans are not very different than any other animal, and we're not even at the top of an evolution pyramid.
+This is called the mediocrity principle: we are not special.
+So, is it hubris to think that humans are somewhat different? Is anthropo-exceptionalism a sin?
 
 
 Our Selfish genes
 -----------------
 
+There is only one type of non inteligent design: Darwinian evolution.
+Its discovery sums up in 4 names: Mendel, Darwin, Watson and Crick:
+
+- Mendel discovered the principle of the genes, by deduction.
+- Darwin discovered the principle of evolution of the species.
+- Finally Watson and Crick discovered the physico-chemical support for all this.
+
+Long before the DNA was discovered, Mendel unveiled the rules of heredity.
+His famous experiments on pea plants showed him some significant statistics: breeding yellow pea and green pea always produced yellow seeds.
+However, in the next generation, the green peas reappeared at a ratio of 1 green to 3 yellow!
+Something was going on with the genes.
+Darwin put this heredity in context when he published his famous book *On the Origin of Species*.
+He showed that all species descended from a common ancestor, and that this evolution stems from a very simple principle: *natural selection*.
+Finally Watson and Cricks discovered the true support of heredity and evolution: the DNA.
+They identified, with others, the identity of the chemicals behind the DNA, and how they encode the characters of the living organisms.
+
+Evolution only needs two things: a replicator, and time. 
+This is how life appeared on earth: in primitive times, the oceans were filled with simple molecules like amino-acids.
+Those amino-acids combined randomly, under the influence of external energy such as lightning or sun rays.
+Those combinations fell appart rapidly, again under the influence of external energy.
+However, at some point something extraordinary happened: out of complete randomness, how of those combinations happened to be something very special.
+This special combination was a replicator.
+A replicator is a molecule that as the very peculiar property to replicate itself.
+It attracts other molecules from the environment and build automatically other copies of itself.
+
+When this happened, the replicator quickly filled the primitive oceans, until depletion of precursor molecules.
+This situation stabilized for a while, until one of the replicator made a mistake while copying itself.
+This copy error, again out of sheer luck, happened to enhance the replicator: it was either faster to copy itself, or created more offsprings.
+So it began to fill the oceans itself, replacing the previous replicator.
+At this point, there was no turning back: evolution was quicked off.
+

 Stealing the show
 -----------------
+Memetic is the recent science kf memes.
+A meme is simply a small piece of culture.
+This piece of culture can be memorized and transmitted.
+That's enough to make it a meme!
+
+Meme gene interactions
+
+This is what makes humans so special.
+We have not just one, but two replicators fighting: the genes and the memes.
+The two are like the master and the dog. The genes are like the master, slow moving, and holding the dog with a long leesh.
 
 As it happens, Human intelligence was selected by evolution.
 This intelligence was selected because it provided obvious advantages.
