The Selfish Gene (Popular Science)
Audio CD Hardcover Paperback Kindle Edition"The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins is a popular science book published in 1976. In the book, Dawkins introduces the concept of the "selfish gene" as the fundamental unit of evolution. He argues that genes, not organisms, are the units of selection in the process of evolution. Dawkins expands on the idea that genes use organisms to propagate themselves, and that an organism's behavior is largely determined by the genetic information it carries. The book also discusses topics such as altruism, kin selection, and cultural evolution. Overall, "The Selfish Gene" is a groundbreaking work that challenges traditional views on evolution and sheds light on the genetic mechanisms that drive it.
