The Selfish Gene
Professor Andrew Gosler is the author of The Selfish Gene, published in 1976. He says Richard Dawkins' central theme was that genes were basic units of evolution. This struck a chord with Professor Gosler, but not in the way Dawkins intended. 'If you wish to build a society in which individuals cooperate generously and unselfishly towards a common good, you can expect little help from biological nature,' he writes.
