"Somos máquinas de supervivencia, autómatas programados a ciegas con el fin de perpetuar la existencia de los egoístas genes que albergamos en nuestras células." Así de rotundo es el comienzo del libro en el que el etólogo Richard Dawkins popularizó la teoría de que los genes son las verdaderas «unidades» centrales de la evolución, en vez de los individuos como los animales o las plantas. Ignore all the widespread information and prevalent opinions about this book and ignore the talks and speeches by Richard Dawkins dealing with Christianity and religion as such and don't let those form your opinion about this book without reading it and instead go and read it. It is incredibly well written and it deals with complex questions about life that ought to be interesting for basically anyone. I've found it to be a perfect introduction into evolutionary theories and even though it is 40 years old and many new facts emerged, the core is still sound and relevant. Maybe consider reading some current critique that points out how our new knowledge affected the theories presented in this book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
'The Selfish Gene' is a classic exposition of evolutionary thought. In it 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 the replication of genes. The book provoked widespread and heated debate, which in part led Dawkins to write 'The Extended Phenotype', in which he gave a deeper clarification of the central concept of the gene as the unit of selection, as well as contributing his own development of this insight. 'The Extended Selfish Gene' brings these two books together, by including two key chapters from 'The Extended Phenotype.' Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
