Description

Description from Open Library (opens in a new tab)

In the dozen years since The Selfish Gene was published its central message has become textbook orthodoxy. Intelligent life on a planet comes of age when it first works out the reason for its own existence. It is sobering to realize that I have lived nearly half my life with The Selfish Gene—for better, for worse.
