Celebrate 50 years of one of the most influential science books ever written with this special anniversary edition of Richard Dawkins' groundbreaking bestseller.

First published in 1976, The Selfish Gene transformed our understanding of evolution by introducing a revolutionary perspective on natural selection, exploring how genes influence the survival and behaviour of living organisms.

Accessible, fascinating, and often provocative, Dawkins' ideas have inspired generations of scientists and readers, continuing to spark discussion and debate half a century after the book's original publication.

This special 50th anniversary edition includes a new epilogue in which Dawkins reflects on the book's lasting influence, alongside a new appendix offering further historical and personal insights.

Part of the Oxford Landmark Science series, this classic is an essential read for anyone interested in biology, genetics, evolution, and the science of life.
