The
Selfish Gene has become a classic exposition of evolutionary
thought. Professor Dawkins articulates a gene's eye view of
evolution - a view giving centre stage to these persistent units of
information, and in which organisms can be seen as vehicles for
their replication. This imaginative, powerful, and stylistically
brilliant work not only brought the insights of Neo-Darwinism to a
wide audience, but galvanized the biology community, generating
much debate and stimulating whole new areas of research. Forty
years later, its insights remain as relevant today as on the day it
was published.
