Dawkins and the Selfish Gene (Paperback)
Oliver Curry
Share this book
Richard Dawkins made famous the theory of the ‘selfish gene’ – inciting one of the most controversial debates in science today. His views on evolution and genetics widely misunderstood, Dawkins has been the target for a barrage of spurious accusations. Yet he has held steadfastly to the belief in the universal objectivity of science, an unfashionable contemporary heir to the Enlightenment ideal.
