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.
论证部分好罗嗦,而且一旦发现selfish gene这一观点无法证伪后,就感觉这本书再读下去没意思了。除了能提供一种全新的世界观之外,这书似乎也没什么特别的地方,当然也许是我不懂而已。最后,略不喜Dawkins的傲慢态度。
评分作者开篇即强调,"I am not advocating a morality based on evolution. I am saying how things have evolved. I am not saying how we humans MORALLY ought to behave." 然而还是有许多读者试图从这本书中挖掘出道德的隐喻。又,作者从没宣称基因本身有意识,眼下的世界之所以是这样一个gene pool,不过是replicator+遗传变异+自然选择的结果罢了,在这其中随机性具有不可忽视的地位。再又,这一理论并不缺乏可证伪性,比如书中提到的有关蚁群性别比的预测,通过对现实存在的蚁群进行研究,就可以证伪。
评分达尔文演化论很精辟的一本经典。不过看了以后,就觉得神马亲情那些都是浮云,不过是在基因的“自私”繁殖欲望下,为了保持自己的延续,而演变出的一种机制而已。所以人类也没别要把自己的繁殖和父母地位看得那么神圣。书中提出的人体是复杂的器官混合体,器官又是复杂的细胞混合体,都是基因们为了共通的延续利益而组合到一起,是个有趣的论点。那病毒大概是融合不成被驱逐出境的个体了,哇卡卡。

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...
评分 评分维特根斯坦说语言是哲学最后的领地 因为只有语言和思维的相互作用暂时还无法用科学的方法来研究 语言是思维的产物,但是反过来又会影响思维 我们现实中很多时候用的是“自私”这个词,实际上我们想表达的是“自我”这个意思 比如一个人只专注于自己的生活,对周围的人和事...
评分 评分作者理查德·道金斯声名远播,是著名的“无神论四骑士”成员,粉丝众多,我知道写这篇文章会得罪他的影迷,所以我必须声明本人也是无神论者,而且对亚伯拉罕一神教厌恶至极,所以本人全力支持道金斯对宗教的批判。但这不等于我认同他所有的观点,比如这本书,我认为他写的很烂...
