Expanded Phenotype

In this book, written six years later as a sequel to his best-selling book, The Gene is Selfish, Dawkins clarifies his views on evolution and supports the concept of "Gene as a Unit of Selection" with scientific arguments. In his own words, “This is neither a textbook nor an introduction to a specific field. “This book contains a personal look at the evolution of life, particularly the logic of natural selection and the hierarchical order of life on which natural selection acts.” Dawkins defines the book's target audience as expert zoologists, evolutionary biologists, animal behaviorists, sociobiologists, ecologists, philosophers, and humanists interested in cosmology, including undergraduate and graduate students in all disciplines.

The Expanded Phenotype offers a comprehensive materialist history of living life on Earth.

“The Expanded Phenotype is written so clearly that it can be understood by anyone who makes the effort.” John Maynard Smith, London Review of Books

“It may be the most important book on evolutionary biology written in the last ten to twenty years.” Professor Antoni Hoffman

“This delightful and thought-provoking book perfectly demonstrates why studying evolution is so exciting today.”
