自私的基因(The Selfish Gene)简介：
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 coined the term "selfish gene" as a way of expressing the gene-centred view of evolution, which holds that evolution is best viewed as acting on genes and that selection at the level of organisms or populations almost never overrides selection based on genes. An organism is expected to evolve to maximize 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.

　　随着人类基因组工程完工，基因一词也被广大媒体以极大的热情四处传播，已经从教科书上走入大众的生活领域。确实我们是父母基因的产物，长期以来我们仅仅是把基因看成是构建我们机体的一份蓝图，而有意或无意的忽视了它对我们的行为的影响。
