The Genial Gene: Deconstructing Darwinian Selfishness Hardcover - 2009
by Joan Roughgarden
From the rear cover
"Roughgarden's unique and forceful vision issues a timely, cogent challenge to the predominant world view that selfishness and conflict are the norm in adaptive evolution."--Michael J. Wade, coauthor of Mating Systems and Strategies
"No other book offers such a sustained argument against sexual selection theory and provides such a compelling alternative--substantively important and exciting."--Jonathan Kaplan, coauthor of Making Sense of Evolution
"This may be the most important book, philosophically speaking, on evolutionary theory in a decade. If Roughgarden is right, males and females evolved as allies, not enemies, and evolutionary theory needs a rethink because competition evolves in a cooperative world, not the other way around."--James Griesemer, President of the International Society for the History, Philosophy, and Social Studies of Biology
