About the book

Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene presents evolution from the perspective of genes rather than individual organisms or species. Dawkins explains how natural selection can favour behaviours that increase the survival and reproduction of genes, including apparently cooperative or altruistic behaviour. The book introduced influential ideas to a broad audience and helped reshape popular discussion of evolutionary biology. Dawkins explains how behaviours that appear cooperative or self-sacrificing can arise through evolutionary processes when they benefit the survival of genes.
