Si t'interessa la biologia i l'evolució, aquest és un llibre que has de llegir. Toca molt temes a més de la genètica, com la teoria de jocs, l'altruisme i la intel·ligència. Per a resumir el seu contingut amb una frase, Dawkins proposa que la selecció, que és el mitjà pel qual es produeix l'evolució, es fa a nivell dels gens, són els gens els que es reprodueixen a si mateixos, essent el cos humà tan sols un mitjà per a la multiplicació dels gens.

"The Selfish Gene is remarkable in several ways. First published in 1976, aimed at a general audience and written by a then little-known young lecturer in zoology at Oxford University, The Selfish Gene rapidly became highly influential. The important biological work of such figures as W. D. Hamilton and Robert Trivers was introduced to a wider public for the first time. But that was not all. Drawing together the threads of contemporary research in Neo-Darwinism into a powerful vision of the living world viewed through the eyes of genes as the units of selection, it was a significant contribution to biological thought. The full explanatory power of the gene's eye view was presented, in fine non-technical prose, for the first time in one short volume, bringing novel insights to those working in the field and inspiring whole new areas of research. Yet even that is not all. It has been widely acclaimed too for its literary qualities. Here is a book that set a new standard in science writing for the wider public, a modern masterpiece that fresh generations of aspiring young scientists would seek to emulate."--BOOK JACKET.
