The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins

 "The Selfish Gene" is a popular science book written by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. It was first published in 1976 and has since become a classic in the field of biology and evolutionary theory. In the book, Dawkins introduces the concept of the "selfish gene," which suggests that genes, rather than individuals or species, are the driving force behind evolution.

Dawkins maintains that genes are the units of selection in evolution and that they act in their own self-interest to ensure their own survival and replication. He explains how this perspective can help us understand various aspects of biology, including altruism, kin selection, and the evolution of social behaviour.

"The Selfish Gene" is known for its clear and engaging writing style, as well as its controversial ideas that have sparked debates and discussions in the scientific community and beyond. The book has had a significant influence in the fields of biology, evolutionary psychology, and popular science.

Now I have decided to give him another chance, although I must admit that I am not a fan of the books he has written, and unfortunately, this book has not changed my opinion about it.
