The Selfish Gene sparked a wave of enthusiasm among biologists and the general public when it was first published in 1976. Its vivid interpretation of life from the perspective of the gene, with clear prose, gathered the threads of thought regarding the nature of natural selection into a conceptual framework with profound implications for understanding evolution.
Time has confirmed its importance. Intellectually rigorous, yet written in non-technical language, The Selfish Gene is widely regarded as a masterpiece of scientific writing, and its insights remain just as essential today as on the day it was first published. This edition includes two new chapters, a new preface, and extensive commentary by the author.
