✅ Summary

The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins is a groundbreaking work of popular science that explores the theory of evolution from the perspective of gene-centered natural selection. Dawkins argues that natural selection operates not on individuals or species, but on genes, which are the fundamental units of evolution. He introduces the idea that organisms are "survival machines" for their genes, and that behaviors that seem altruistic may actually be selfish in terms of gene survival. The book also explains concepts like kin selection, the "selfish gene" metaphor, and how evolution shapes both animal behavior and human nature.
