Students: "Ugh O.M.G. no what."
For most of us, science is um.....this:
The Selfish Gene is an informational text. The purpose of informational texts may be to simply transmit certain information to develop criteria or knowledge about something. But, what is the difference between an informational text and an expository or a narrative text? Is there really any? Talking about purpose, all books try to reach thinking in their readers, no matter through what means or topics.
To be honest, "The Selfish Gene" is not the most striking title there is, but it does resume the book in a very simple yet interesting way. Having read the first three chapters, I infer that the title also connects somehow to how Dawkins sees us as humans. Selfishness is a requisite for genes. That is, if they want to survive. And of course, since genes contain DNA, we had to inherit selfishness.
"Like gene, like human."
