Your point about how the chimp with the biggest balls wins only goes so 
far.  Will the evolution of chimps progress until male chimps have to drag 
their baggage with them?  Most likely not the case; you'll find that
statisically, what helps those genes reproduce will be found over a 
gaussian distribution ('bell curve') of the population.  So, in a sense, 
successful selfish genes end up being the status quo, i.e. what we label 
as the "species."
