"Dawkins has consistently been sceptical about non-adaptive processes in evolution (such as spandrels, described by Gould and Lewontin) and about selection at levels "above" that of the gene. He is particularly sceptical about the practical possibility or importance of group selection as a basis for understanding altruism. This behaviour appears at first to be an evolutionary paradox, since helping others costs precious resources and decreases one's own fitness. Previously, many had interpreted this as an aspect of group selection: individuals are doing what is best for the survival of the population or species as a whole. British evolutionary biologist W. D. Hamilton used gene-frequency analysis in his inclusive fitness theory to show how hereditary altruistic traits can evolve if there is sufficient genetic similarity between actors and recipients of such altruism (including close relatives). Hamilton's inclusive fitness has since been successfully applied to a wide range of organisms, including humans." (from Wikipedia) . 2009. Free Press ISBN ...

New York: Free Press, Date: 2009. An As New copy in an As New dustjacket which is not price clipped. First US Edition, First Printing. ix + 47 pages. Illustrated throughout. The book is a stunning counter-attack on advocates of 'Intelligent Design', explaining the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist 'argument'. Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence: from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil records; from natural clocks that mark the vast epochs wherein evolution ran its course to the intricacies of developing embryos; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics.
