“It was very interesting, although I think a lot of Richard Dawkins personality came out in the book and he came across bitter if not annoyed in places. It also didnt answer all the questions of why certain things remain in the Gene pool which according to his theories shouldn't, so although Gene's do play an important part in evolution (probobly ]99%) and are more pesistent than the longevity of any human, I suspect there is something more at play.”

For me this book comes parallel to FountainHead and Zen and The Art ...”

“Probably the single most influential book in my library. This book, now over 30 years old, is simply timeless. The ideas here tie into every single aspect of human life and brings about a rubber-meets-the-road perspective into every aspect of living.”

“A must read for anyone interested in evolution, it's just soft enough for laymen, but hard enough for someone with a small background in biology. ”
