Synopsis:
A classic work of popular science that explains evolution from a gene-centered perspective, arguing that natural selection acts primarily at the level of genes. It explores how competition among genes can produce both seemingly selfish and apparently altruistic behavior in organisms, and introduces influential ideas such as kin selection and evolutionary strategies.
This “new edition” updates the original 1976 book with revisions, additional material, and expanded discussion, making it a foundational introduction to modern evolutionary thinking for general readers.
