Description
The Gene's-Eye View of Evolution by J. Arvid Ågren provides a comprehensive understanding of the gene's-eye view of evolution, a perspective that has played a central role in evolutionary biology since its emergence. This accessible book clarifies how this viewpoint differs from traditional organismal accounts of evolution and explores its historical origins. Ågren's meticulous reading of the relevant literature brings together key concepts and ideas, shedding light on the ongoing debates in evolutionary biology. By examining examples from contemporary experimental work, the author demonstrates why many evolutionary biologists continue to consider the gene's-eye view an indispensable heuristic. The book concludes by discussing how this perspective fits into current discussions in evolutionary biology, revealing insights into its future relevance.
