The Selfish Gene: 40th Anniversary Edition (Oxford Landmark Science) 

The million-copy international bestseller, critically acclaimed and translated into over 25 languages.

As influential today as when it was first published, The Selfish Gene has become a classic exposition of evolutionary thought. Professor Richard Dawkins presents a gene’s-eye view of evolution, where genes take center stage as the enduring units of selection, and organisms serve as vehicles for their replication. This powerful and imaginative work not only brought Neo-Darwinism to a global audience but also sparked debate, inspired new research, and transformed how we understand life itself.

This 40th Anniversary Edition includes a new epilogue from Dawkins on the ongoing relevance of these ideas in modern evolutionary biology, along with the original prefaces, foreword, and excerpts from early reviews.

Oxford Landmark Science books are essential classics that crystallize big ideas and shape the way we think about science and the world.
