The Selfish GeneAs influential today as when it was first published, The Selfish Gene has become a classic exposition of evolutionary thought.

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. |
