Our genes want to reproduce. The reproduction strategy of an organism is self selecting similar organisms with 'desirable' genetic traits. Just as a female Bird of Paradise will select the most hansom male to reproduce humans males will select the youngest, healthiest and fertile appearing females. Human females by contrast will select the most successful men. Those that are the best hunters, fishermen or businessmen in their culture. However within these broad strategies individual genes seek their own kind to promulgate. Think about the fragmentation of society and why essentially 'birds of feather "flock" together'.
What if ideology is the smoke screen thrown up by various genes in order to signal and rally dominate genetic traits in order to procreate? What would those genes say?
