Description

image

This torrent contains The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins
as an unabridged audiobook and e-books in AZW3, EPUB, MOBI
and PDF Formats. Sources were an audiobook torrent by some
Demonoid user and an E-Book torrent by TheARchivist.

The Audiobook version has been converted to 32kbps mono,
which I find perfectly adequate for audiobooks. The original
version was 128 kbps stereo.

From Wikipedia:

The Selfish Gene is a book on evolution by Richard Dawkins,
published in 1976. It builds upon the principal theory of
George C. Williams's first book Adaptation and Natural
Selection. Dawkins used the term "selfish gene" as a way of
expressing the gene-centred view of evolution as opposed to
the views focused on the organism and the group,
popularising ideas developed during the 1960s by W. D.
Hamilton and others. From the gene-centred view follows that
the more two individuals are genetically related, the more
sense (at the level of the genes) it makes for them to behave
selflessly with each other. Therefore the concept is
especially good at explaining many forms of altruism. This
should not be confused with misuse of the term along the
lines of a selfishness gene.

An organism is expected to evolve to maximise its inclusive
fitness—the number of copies of its genes passed on globally
(rather than by a particular individual). As a result,
populations will tend towards an evolutionarily stable
strategy. The book also coins the term meme for a unit of
human cultural evolution analogous to the gene, suggesting
that such "selfish" replication may also model human culture,
in a different sense. Memetics has become the subject of many
studies since the publication of the book.

In the foreword to the book's 30th-anniversary edition,
Dawkins said he "can readily see that [the book's title] might
give an inadequate impression of its contents" and in retrospect
thinks he should have taken Tom Maschler's advice and called
the book The Immortal Gene.
