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. |

therefore will not breed. Winning a territory is therefore, to Wynne-Edwards, like
winning a ticket or licence to breed. Since there is a finite number of territories
available, ...
