Book Review of "Selfish Gene"

A book that truly leaves you awestruck. Lucidly unravels the biological & genetic reasoning, accompanied by numerous examples of animal & plant behaviors, explaining how they evolved & survived. As an engineer, I was genuinely surprised by the simple probabilistic equations that can shed light on relatedness of two organisms & the likelihood or unlikelihood of "inheriting" a trait. Docking a star because it kind of rambles on in a couple of chapters. But overall, an informative & insightful read.
