the selfish gene
by Jillian O'Keeffe
A clear explanation of evolution, written way back in the seventies and updated for the new millennium.
Richard Dawkins uses all creatures great and small to illustrate his theories in this fascinating book. You’ll never look at a colony of ants in the same way again.
When you read this book you realise just how much of the world around you you’ve been taking for granted, and it opens up a new can of worms for your brain. No more assuming ‘things are the way they are just because that’s the way they are’.
Put simply this book outlines the meaning or lack thereof of life – I swear to the non-existent Beardy Man in the Sky.
For all those who think science is as fundamental as fatwa, don’t judge it until you’ve read it – ‘It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it’. Aristotle. And he was quite the smarty-pants.
