The Selfish Gene
Richard Dawkins
In the modern reformulation of Darwin’s theory of evolution, “The Selfish gene,” Richard Dawkins reframes some basic known concepts in a perspective centered around the gene rather than the organism. The gene is “selfish” because, as a replicator for self-preservation, it has to overcome hurdles that impose natural selection, such as scarcity and variety.
The Blind Watchmaker
Richard Dawkins
The Blind Watchmaker is a brilliant, eye-opening book that takes you on a journey through the natural world starting in the 18th century with Paley’s watchmaker, a metaphor for creationism. It continues with Dawkins’ blind watchmaker explaining how elegant and definite solution Darwinian natural selection is. Discover why we weren’t designed by a divine creator, but by a blind one, which scientists since Darwin refer to as evolution.
The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins
The book is a fascinating polemic by the most prominent atheist Richard Dawkins, who questions the irrationality of the idea of God by providing a methodical examination of the role of religion in history, exposing critical arguments for God’s existence, and through the power of Darwin’s natural selection. Discover why there is almost certainly no supreme being, but a delusion.
