The Selfish GeneAs influential today as when it was first published, 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. |

that any one individual was either a hawk or a dove. We ended up with an
evolutionarily stable ratio of hawks to doves. In practice, what this means is that a
stable ratio of hawk genes to dove genes would be achieved in the gene pool.
