Genes are the fundamental building blocks of life, replicating with merciless efficiency. In this landmark work, biologist Richard Dawkins argues that evolution is driven not by the interests of individual organisms, but by the relentless competition between these microscopic genetic entities. Dawkins takes readers on a revelatory journey, exposing how our very existence is molded by the ancient, instinctual drives of these replicating genetic fragments. From the origins of altruism to the evolutionary roots of human nature, "The Selfish Gene" offers a powerful new perspective on the living world.
