The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary Edition–with a new Introduction by the Author

Richard Dawkins

This another book I should have read many, many years ago. Science books aren’t often thought of as page-turners, but this one it, for me at least. I’ve developed a much better understanding of the beginnings of life from this. It all makes perfect sense, once spelled out so clearly and engagingly as it is in this classic. I’d recommend this to anyone, especially as it relates to the grand questions, such as the meaning (or rather meaninglessness) of life, and our existence as biological entities sharing the planet with other evolutionary beings that have all evolved from the same origins.
