Present 1.

A examination of a kind, it seems based on the "selfish gene" hypothesis of Professor R. Dawkins.  The deliverer for what ever reason accepts the professor's reasoning, that at the time of the professor's authorship, genetic understanding had as not reached confirmatory conclusion.  Has after 40 years the hypothesis been substantiated(?)  Another hypothesis came to attention during the second half of the twentieth century was that of James Lovelock and Gaia.  Has a advance been made regarding this discovery by observation.

With the former recall, "dead" money revitalized might keep Arrium (Australian Steel Manufacturer) viable and in Indian Ownership for longer.  But what of those Indians wishing to migrate(sic) to the "most wonderful country on Earth".  Will there be sufficient moolah after expropriation for those landing here to buy property and franchises etc. According to the report monetisation was portrayed negatively, guess we be the judge. What was not mentioned but brought to notice by a acquaintance returning here from there. Apparently India's monetisation policy motivated partly due to counterfeit money circulating, a cause for concern ...
