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. |

With reservations, the gene pool plays the same role for the modern replicators
as the primeval soup did for the original ones. Sex and chromosomal crossing-
over have the effect of preserving the liquidity of the modern equivalent of the
soup.

In the early days they 'fed' on organic molecules freely available in the soup. This
easy life came to an end when the organic food in the soup, which had been
slowly built up under the energetic influence of centuries of sunlight, was all used

It is staring us in the face. It is still in its infancy, still drifting clumsily about in its
primeval soup, but already it is achieving evolutionary change at a rate which
leaves the old gene panting far behind. The new soup is the soup of human
culture.
