Description
The Extended Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins brings together two seminal works in evolutionary thought. This comprehensive exposition articulates a gene's eye view of evolution, giving centre stage to these persistent units of information and redefining the relationship between organisms and their genetic material. In this book, Professor Dawkins responds to criticisms of his earlier work, The Selfish Gene, addressing concerns over genetic determinism and adaptationism. He provides a detailed and powerful response, clarifying the central concept of the gene as the unit of selection. Dawkins's clarity of expression makes these chapters accessible to all who engage with the gene's eye view and its implications. Forty years after its initial publication, The Extended Selfish Gene remains significant, offering insights that continue to shape our understanding of evolutionary biology today. A new epilogue from the author highlights the relevance of the gene's eye view in contemporary research.
