About this ebook
The Selfish Gene: by Richard Dawkins | Book Summary | Readtrepreneur
(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book, but an unofficial summary.)
An entirely different approach to one of the most controversial theories in the world. The Selfish Gene is a reformulation of the theory of natural selection developed by Charles Darwin. This classic is focused on the nature of altruism and selfishness that creatures have. Despite that any living creature is focused on his well-being, the study reveals that they have a natural sense of altruism as well. Many creatures have a tendency of sacrificing themselves for their loved ones' safety.

"Any altruistic system is inherently unstable, because it is open to abuse by selfish individuals, ready to exploit it." – Richard Dawkins
Richard Dawkins' title is an interesting look into the nature of living creatures. An incredibly complex topic developed perfectly so any person interested in reading it can enjoy and learn a lot from the book. Richard Dawkins reveals many things we didn't know about Charles Darwin's natural selection theory.
P.S. The Selfish Gene is an extremely informative book which will teach you a lot about the most primal side of any living creature.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is an excellent work on Evolutionary biology, Genes, Behavioral biology and Natural selection, among many other fascinating topics.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Quite an interesting book especially to persons with interest in evolution.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The evidence the book presents (for evolution) is overwhelming, and left me with the uncomfortable feeling that there is little room left for supernatural explanations.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of those ‘pop-science’ books which are enlightening and enjoyable at the same time. A must-read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An absolutely fascinating book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in genetics, evolution, or sociology.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the first of his books I've read, and I expect to read all his others before I die. A challenging topic to understand, for me anyway. Dawkins writes clearly, with wit.
