Extended phenotype

Richard Dawkins is a prominent British biologist and the author of the theory of memes. His brilliant books have played a major role in reviving interest in popular science literature. Clarity of exposition, humor, and ironclad logic make even Dawkins's strictly scientific works accessible to a wide range of readers. “The Extended Phenotype” develops the ideas of his famous book “The Selfish Gene” (1976), in which evolution and natural selection are examined “from the gene’s point of view.” These ideas, which sparked heated controversy, have already become firmly established in scientific discourse, and “The Extended Phenotype” is rightly considered one of the most important books in modern evolutionary biology.
