Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands of readers to rethink their beliefs about life.
In his internationally bestselling, now classic volume, The Selfish Gene , Dawkins explains how the selfish gene can also be a subtle gene. The world of the selfish gene revolves around savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit, and yet, Dawkins argues, acts of apparent altruism do exist in nature. Bees, for example, will commit suicide when they sting to protect the hive, and birds will risk their lives to warn the flock of an approaching hawk.
This 30th anniversary edition of Dawkins' fascinating book retains all original material, including the two enlightening chapters added in the second edition. In a new Introduction the author presents his thoughts thirty years after the publication of his first and most famous book, while the inclusion of the two-page original Foreword by brilliant American scientist Robert Trivers shows the enthusiastic reaction of the scientific community at that time. This edition is a celebration of a remarkable exposition of evolutionary thought, a work that has been widely hailed for its stylistic brilliance and deep scientific insights, and that continues to stimulate whole new areas of research today.
Richard Dawkins, Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science and Fellow of New College, Oxford.
論證部分好羅嗦,而且一旦發現selfish gene這一觀點無法證僞後,就感覺這本書再讀下去沒意思瞭。除瞭能提供一種全新的世界觀之外,這書似乎也沒什麼特彆的地方,當然也許是我不懂而已。最後,略不喜Dawkins的傲慢態度。
評分原來很多科普文裏的內容都來源於這本書。
評分20世紀思想史上極少數幾個需要認真對付的觀點之一,這本書對於我本科時代的影響是決定性的
評分看瞭這本書纔知道我不過隻是基因們的一個生存機器、一個拷貝,我那一萬小時倒計時也隻是基因們提前編製的程序的一個不足為道的執行。但是,知道我這個生存機器也是宏大漫長的基因戰爭曆史的一個片斷,我又覺得這有“make a dent”的浪漫之意。Go gene! 給我滅瞭其它基因!

評分自私不是人性的定语 《自私的基因》的作者说过这样一句话: “我打算在我的《自私的基因》一书之后补写第二卷,对人类作一些论述。而我发现《美德的起源》一书正与我想象的第二卷的内容一模一样。” —这句话是他对《美德的起源》这本书的推荐,而这本书正是说人类的合作本...
評分1.看到第四章,一个明显错误,作者把人脑比为计算机、把基因比为外星人,这种逻辑的颠倒是非常滑稽的。任何研究过AI或者认识论的人都不会犯这种低级错误。 2.拟人化和还原论的隐喻弥散到全篇文章中,如果仔细去掉这些非精确的部分,我们就会发现作者时常自相矛盾。比如他说...
評分看自私的基因,多少也算是简单通俗的小册子一本。讲的是自私行为和利他行为在生物学上的意义。利他无非是为了于人方便,于己也方便;自私才是根本。 书中视基因为自私行为的基本单位,因为“从发生在最最低级的水平上的选择出发,是解释进化论的最好方法。” 从基因出发的世界...
