This book mainly discusses the selfish gene hypothesis in parallel to the animal species' reproduction and social behaviour. Most of the book has discussed the basics of reproductory behaviour till chapter 9 then chapter 10 focused on The social and communal construct. Some parts of it were repetitive and purely theoretical. But since the selfish gene is a hypothesis then the absurdity isn't shocking. Some of the concepts and explanations of our evolutionary behaviour were pretty good and it made me think about them more deeply than what we believe on the surface. My favourite was chapter 11 which focused on humankind and how we were set apart in this hypothesis from other animals.
3. 5 stars from me.
