Description
The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins explains evolution from the perspective of genes. Dawkins argues that genes tend to survive and reproduce through organisms, influencing behaviours such as cooperation, competition, and altruism. The book introduces the idea of the “selfish gene” and shows how natural selection shapes living organisms.
