"The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins revolutionized the way we think about evolution and genetics. In this seminal work, Dawkins introduces the concept of the gene-centered view of evolution, arguing that genes, rather than individuals or species, are the fundamental units of selection. Dawkins explores how genes, driven by the imperative to replicate themselves, shape the behavior and traits of organisms in ways that maximize their own survival and reproduction. Through vivid examples and clear explanations, he demonstrates how seemingly altruistic behaviors can be understood as strategies for promoting the survival of one's genes, shedding light on complex phenomena such as cooperation, altruism, and social behavior.
