maxstone98 's review for:
The Selfish Gene
by Richard Dawkins
If you haven't explored evolution in-depth, this is a great great book (it may also be a great book if you have, but I'm not on top of the literature enough to know that). Partly that is because the operation at the genetic level is not what you will remember from high school biology, and is really interesting. And partly because the author does a really good job of exploring the impact evolution has on many many behaviors, both human and animal.
One weakness, at least for me, is that the author is certainly pushing a particular view (it's all about the genetic level; anyone who thinks it might operate at some other level is a moron), and those who aren't experts won't know the field well enough to know if he is presenting all the best counter-points to his particular take on things.
But overall that is a quibble; it is a great book.
