I am now currently reading a book called, "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins. The book was written in 1976 which caused a wave of excitement among biologists and the general public during its time. After reading chapter one and two of "The Selfish Gene" I decided to do some research on Richard Darwin.
Based on the first two chapters, he appears educated in what he is talking about. He is prepared to declare openly what he believes in, and he explains how human nature is selfish, and how our genes effect our personality. He shows us both examples of Selfishness and altruism. I later found that this man is an atheist, which may explain even more why his belief in evolution is very strong. It is also to be found that he seems to believe that religion is a delusion. This makes me wonder : How much of his belief influenced his opinions for the book, "The Selfish Gene." As I can see in the book, he provides evidence to his beliefs, and clarifies what the book is, and what the book isn't.
