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。
Richard Dawkins, Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science and Fellow of New College, Oxford.
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.
早在八年前,我就买了这本书,但它现在还躺在我的书架子上。无他,读起来太累,那时我比现在更加幼稚。 一年之前,饭后茶余,偶然和教授(物理系)谈起某些我们以为荒谬的社会学理论时,他认为那些谬误源于部分社会学家对他们研究对象——人类——的无知。那时他...
评分《自私的基因》是理查德•道金斯撰写的一本关于进化的书,1976年出版。这本书以乔治•C•威廉姆斯的著作《适应与自然选择》中提出的主要理论为基础。道金斯采用“自私的基因”这个说法,是为了表达以基因为中心的进化观,以区别于以生物个体和群体为关注点的进化观,这是...
评分2012.02.27 【经典推荐】《自私的基因》 久闻大名的一本书,遗憾的是,现在才真正读完。大概是很久没有看这样的书了,觉得非常好看,两天的时间忍不住一气读完。 一直以来我有一个巨大的野心,我知道这个野心过于巨大,可能在我的有生之年都无法完成。不是的,不是的,不是要日...
