Genecentered view challenges traditional evolutionary theories from "summary" of The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins,Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science Richard Dawkins,David Dawkins,RICHARD AUTOR DAWKINS
The gene-centered view of evolution challenges traditional theories by shifting the focus from individuals to genes as the fundamental unit of natural selection. According to this perspective, genes are the driving force behind evolution, influencing the behavior and traits of organisms in order to maximize their own survival and reproduction. In contrast, traditional theories tend to emphasize the role of the individual organism in shaping evolutionary outcomes. By placing genes at the center of evolutionary processes, the gene-centered view provides a more nuanced explanation for the diversity and complexity of life on Earth. Genes are seen as selfish entities that compete with one another for replication and survival, leading to the evolution of traits that enhance their own chances of being passed on to future generations. This perspective offers a compelling explanation for phenomena suc...
