  • Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition

Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition Paperback – 1 januari 2006

Engelstalige uitgave Dawkins Richard (auteur)
4,6 van 5 sterren (8.380)
Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands of readers to rethink their beliefs about life.
In his internationally bestselling, now classic volume, The Selfish Gene, Dawkins explains how the selfish gene can also be a subtle gene. The world of the selfish gene revolves around savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit, and yet, Dawkins argues, acts of apparent altruism do exist in nature. Bees, for example, will commit suicide when they sting to protect the hive, and birds will risk their lives to warn the flock of an approaching hawk.
This 30th anniversary edition of Dawkins' fascinating book retains all original material, including the two enlightening chapters added in the second edition. In a new Introduction the author presents his thoughts thirty years after the publication of his first and most famous book, while the inclusion of the two-page original Foreword by brilliant American scientist Robert Trivers shows the enthusiastic reaction of the scientific community at that time. This edition is a celebration of a remarkable exposition of evolutionary thought, a work that has been widely hailed for its stylistic brilliance and deep scientific insights, and that continues to stimulate whole new areas of research today.

    Off all books about evolution, this one has a good chance of survival. Very thourough, sometimes boring, but a comprehensive theory on many aspects involving evolution.must read for biologists, both amateur and profs.

    5,0 van 5 sterren Must read, even if you're not a biology nerd
    Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 2 januari 2026
    Geverifieerde aankoop
    Richard Dawkins does a good job in explaining some complex science, even for a halfwit like me to understand who hasn’t seen inside a biology lab since sixth-form. Dawkins explains that genes are the real "stars" of the show, explaining why selfishness and altruism (surprisingly) are such integral parts of successful societies/people. He makes tricky ideas understandable with clean examples and everyday language, covering everything from why animals help family to how ‘memes’ (he’s the originator of the meme) spread like genes do. It's insightful, entertaining, and still feels fresh decades now despite its age. A must-read.

    5,0 van 5 sterren We all are Machines!
    Beoordeeld in India op 26 juli 2025
    Geverifieerde aankoop
    The book takes complex scientific ideas and makes them incredibly clear and engaging, using vivid examples that stick with you.
    It even introduced the concept of "memes" – ideas or cultural elements that spread from person to person, much like genes. While the title might make it seem like a bleak read, it actually offers profound insights without being overly deterministic. It helps us understand our fundamental biological drives while also acknowledging our capacity for higher thought and even altruism.
    If you're curious about the deep mechanisms of life and want a fresh, compelling view of evolution, this book is an absolute must-read. It's a classic that continues to challenge and inform new generations.
