The Selfish Gene

📝 Description
A seminal work by Richard Dawkins, first published in 1976, that popularized the gene-centered view of evolution. Dawkins argues that genes are the primary unit of selection in evolution, and that organisms (including humans) are essentially "survival machines" for their genes. The book explores concepts like altruism, selfishness, and the evolution of complex behaviors from a genetic perspective.
