Description

The Extended Phenotype: The Long Reach of the Gene by Richard Dawkins In this thought-provoking book, Richard Dawkins expands on his concept of the gene as the unit of selection, revealing how genes influence not just an organism's visible traits but also its interactions with the wider environment. From the beaver's dam-building to the cuckoo chick's manipulation of host bird behaviour, Dawkins illustrates how genes can exert a profound impact beyond the individual. This book provides a deeper understanding of evolutionary biology and has had a significant influence on research in the life sciences. Dawkins' clear exposition makes complex ideas accessible to readers prepared to engage with the subject matter. A key contribution to our understanding of evolution, The Extended Phenotype is an essential read for biologists and anyone interested in exploring the intricate relationships between genes, organisms, and their environment. Oxford University Press has reprinted this influential work, making it available to new generations of readers.
