Selfish gene
Selfish Gene" is a key work in the field of science and philosophy, written by the famous biologist Richard Dawkins. In this book, the author offers an original view of evolution, arguing that genes are basic units of natural selection and that they act in their own self-interest.
Dawkins explains how genes affect the behavior and development of organisms, arguing that many of our actions can be understood as "programs" programmed by our genes. It introduces the concept of a "selfish gene" that acts in its own interests, even if it is contrary to the interests of the body as a whole.
The book covers a wide range of topics, including altruism, self-sacrifice and cooperation, and explains how these phenomena can be understood through the prism of evolutionary theory. Dawkins uses examples from the animal world and human society to illustrate his ideas and show how genes drive behavior.
"The Selfish Gene" has had a significant impact on the development of modern biology and philosophy, representing a key work for anyone interested in how evolution shapes life on Earth.
