The Selfish Gene

What if you're not the master of your own body, but a temporary vessel for immortal genes? Richard Dawkins revolutionizes our understanding of evolution by shifting perspective from organisms to genes themselves. These molecular replicators have survived for billions of years by building "survival machines", us, to carry them forward. Through concepts like kin selection, evolutionarily stable strategies, and the extended phenotype, Dawkins reveals how seemingly altruistic behaviors are actually genetic self-interest in disguise.
