The Selfish Gene caused a wave of excitement among biologists and the general public when it was first published in 1976. Its vivid rendering of a gene?s eye view of life, in lucid prose, gathered together the strands of thought about the nature of natural selection into a conceptual framework with far-reaching implications for our understanding... more »

I gave this book only 4 stars and not the full 5, not due to author's ideas but to the organization of the book. The author spent too much time jumping from topic to topic or telling you he will discuss a topic a few chapters later.
Example: I felt like the research by Axelrod in later chapters on Game Theory should have been included when ESS was first introduced with the Hawks and Doves game in the earlier chapters. There were too many questions by the reader left unanswered between those chapters.
Aside from the aforementioned, the theories in this book will truly make you put your thinking cap on.
