People are genetically optimized to maximize "inclusive fitness".  Inclusive
fitness is a very broad category and includes behavior ranging from Mother
Teresa, to suicide bombers, to Bill Gates.  These behaviors only make
scientific sense when viewed through Dawkin's so-called "selfish gene"
metaphor.

In short, evolution theory provides a scientific explanation for observed
human behavior.  It's a very interesting subject, but quite difficult to
really understand.  This is because we are genetically-biased against
self-knowledge.  Self-knowledge isn't for everyone, but I like it.
