- The Commemorative anniversary edition of this landmark work which powerfully encapsulates a new way of looking at living things – a gene's eye view
- With a new epilogue by Richard Dawkins, discussing the continuing relevance of - --these ideas in evolutionary biology today
- Completely re-typeset, to make the book even more attractive to read
- Originally published in 1976, this book remains a classic work in the development of evolutionary thought, and its influence is undiminished today
- Includes the original prefaces including Robert Trivers' 1976 foreword, and extracts from a selection of early reviews
- Part of the Oxford Landmark Science range: 'must-read' modern science and big ideas, which have shaped the way we think
The million copy international bestseller, critically acclaimed and translated into over 25 languages.
As influential today as when it was first published, The Selfish Gene has become a classic exposition of evolutionary thought. Professor Dawkins articulates a gene's eye view of evolution – a view giving centre stage to these persistent units of information, and in which organisms can be seen as vehicles for their replication. This imaginative, powerful, and stylistically brilliant work not only brought the insights of Neo-Darwinism to a wide audience, but galvanized the biology community, generating much debate and stimulating whole new areas of research. Forty years later, its insights remain as relevant today as on the day it was published.
This 40th anniversary edition includes a new epilogue from the author discussing the continuing relevance of these ideas in evolutionary biology today, as well as the original prefaces and foreword, and extracts from early reviews.
Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.

刚看完第一章，作者好tm啰嗦啊，不停疑惑所以呢 what's your point？不知道我能否坚持读完//读完第三章，没什么耐心了，一些unnecessary metaphor，总觉得是给没上过生物课的人看的，评分这么高我不理解//稍微感觉有点意思了，看sex那章的时候我就在想，男人劈腿出轨大概是刻在基因里的吧……//豆瓣认证了，可以标记一下看完了（一年了吧）

看到 battle of the sexes 的时候突然很疑惑，如果不同性别之间生存策略的差异是写在基因里的，那所有的抗争有多大作用？或者 silver lining 是抗争到最后会 nice guys finish last？ Memes 这章感觉过于 speculative 了，但看的时候想，作者自己也知道这本书有很多符合主题且能避免争议的标题，但他最后还是选择了“自私的基因”，是不是因为这... 看到 battle of the sexes 的时候突然很疑惑，如果不同性别之间生存策略的差异是写在基因里的，那所有的抗争有多大作用？或者 silver lining 是抗争到最后会 nice guys finish last？ Memes 这章感觉过于 speculative 了，但看的时候想，作者自己也知道这本书有很多符合主题且能避免争议的标题，但他最后还是选择了“自私的基因”，是不是因为这会是一个更有利于复制和流传的 meme (虽然他起标题的时候可能还没有这个说法。 以及想到人类作为 survival machine 超越基因控制横生出来的枝节挺让人感慨的。 (展开)

看来自然界和人类社会的逻辑既有不同又有很多可以借鉴的相通之处。

博弈论以及文化传承的部分尤其精彩。整本书由科学和哲学相辅相成，发人深省。
