The Extended Phenotype by Richard Dawkins

The Extended Phenotype by Richard Dawkins

The 'extended phenotype' is Dawkins' key contribution to the gene's eye view of evolution given in The Selfish Gene. He shows that the influence of genes can extend far beyond the bodies in which they reside, manipulating the environment and the behaviour of other individuals. A worldwide bestseller and a classic work of scientific exposition.

The Extended Phenotype is a sequel to The Selfish Gene.. he writes so clearly it could be understood by anyone prepared to make the effort * John Maynard Smith, LRB *
This entertaining and thought-provoking book is an excellent illustration of why the study of evolution is in such an exciting ferment these days. * Science *
