The Selfish Gene

This imaginative, powerful, and stylistically brilliant work not only brought the insights of Neo-Darwinism to a wide audience, but galvanised the biology community, generating much debate and stimulating whole new areas of research. 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.
