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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn very good overall condition.
