Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands of readers to rethink their beliefs about life.In his internationally bestselling, now classic volume, The Selfish Gene, Dawkins explains how the selfish gene can also be a subtle gene. The world of the selfish gene revolves around savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit, and yet, Dawkins argues, acts of apparent altruism do exist in nature. Bees, for example, will commit suicide when they sting to protect the hive, and birds will risk their lives to warn the flock of an approaching hawk.This 30th anniversary edition of Dawkins' fascinating book retains all original material, including the two enlightening chapters added in the second edition. In a new Introduction the author presents his thoughts thirty years after the publication of his first and most famous book, while the inclusion of the two-page original Foreword by brilliant American scientist Robert Trivers shows the enthusiastic reaction of the scientific community at that time. This edition is a celebration of a remarkable exposition of evolutionary thought, a work that has been widely hailed for its stylistic brilliance and deep scientific insights, and that continues to stimulate whole new areas of research today.©1989 Richard Dawkins (P)2011 Audible, Inc.

Commentaires

"Dawkins first book, The Selfish Gene, was a smash hit.... Best of all, Dawkins laid out this biology - some of it truly subtle - in stunningly lucid prose. (It is, in my view, the best work of popular science ever written.)" (H. Allen Orr, Professor of Biology, University of Rochester, in The New York Review of Books)

A excellent starting point to not only understanding the basis of genetics and the theory of evolution, but for scientific reasonning as a whole.

Honnêtement pas grand chose à dire, une très bonne conciliation de sujets scientifiques détaillés dans un vocabulaire à la portée de tous.
Peut être des pointures du domaines voient des failles mais n'en étant pas une je ne peux que recommander cette lecture.

Clair et d'une logique implacable

An excellent book which is unfortunately polluted in this edition by an avalanche of (very) long footnotes, in which Mr Dawkins feels compelled to explain the obvious to idiots who did not understand (or chose not to understand) his book at the time. These digressions, useless for those with at least half a brain, are so long that it is oftentimes difficult to regain the flow of the original book once they are over. By wanting to do it too well...

Way, waaaay to many footnotes
