ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene presents a compelling view of evolution centered on the gene as the fundamental unit of natural selection. It argues that organisms, including humans, are essentially survival machines built by genes to propagate themselves. The book delves into the implications of this gene-centric perspective on animal behavior, exploring how seemingly altruistic actions can arise from underlying gene selfishness. Dawkins examines various aspects of life, from aggression and cooperation to family planning and the battle of the sexes, through the lens of genes striving for survival and replication across generations. The core themes revolve around evolutionary biology, genetics, and the selfish nature of the replicating gene.
