Abstract

In the selfish gene, richard dawkins elaborates on another perspective of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, basing his argument on the recent discovery of the DNA molecule's structure. the theory of evolution, which relevance had been largely suffering from a lack of physical validation, now benefits from the irrefutable explanation of the evolution of genes. Starting from the genesis of DNA, dawkins will show they are our first ancestors, and that mankind exists as a consequence of their survival needs. Whilst all the process doesn't require any morality or will, since the neutral law of nature is sufficient, for all that the author doesn't mean we are condemned to selfishness. Understanding our origins and trajectory helps us decide between two selfish horizons, one of them being more favorable to a peaceful and collaborative world. the text addresses to the whole human species - unfortunately animals cannot read. More a humanist philosopher than a narrow-minded scientist, dawkins succeeds in vulgarizing and popularizing a strong axiom that could soon modify our own perception of life.
