Product Description
内容（「BOOK」データベースより）
本書は、動物や人間社会でみられる親子の対立と保護、兄弟の闘い、雄と雌の闘い、攻撃やなわばり行動などの社会行動がなぜ進化したかを説き明かしたものである。著者は、この謎解きに当り、視点を個体から遺伝子に移し、自らのコピーを増やそうとする遺伝子の利己性から、説明を試みる。大胆かつ繊細な筆運びで、ここに利己的遺伝子の理論は完成した。

Inheriting the mantle of revolutionary biologist from Darwin, Watson, and Crick, Richard Dawkins forced an enormous change in the way we see ourselves and the world with the publication of The Selfish Gene. Suppose, instead of thinking about organisms using genes to reproduce themselves, as we had since Mendel's work was rediscovered, we turn it around and imagine that "our" genes build and maintain us in order to make more genes. That simple reversal seems to answer many puzzlers which had stumped scientists for years, and we haven't thought of evolution in the same way since.
Why are there miles and miles of "unused" DNA within each of our bodies? Why should a bee give up its own chance to reproduce to help raise her sisters and brothers? With a prophet's clarity, Dawkins told us the answers from the perspective of molecules competing for limited space and resources to produce more of their own kind. Drawing fascinating examples from every field of biology, he paved the way for a serious re-evaluation of evolution. He also introduced the concept of self-reproducing ideas, or memes, which (seemingly) use humans exclusively for their propagation. If we are puppets, he says, at least we can try to understand our strings. --Rob Lightner
