I read this review about reviewers

@mahgister  There's a huge gulf between The Selfish Gene and the allied academic material that surrounds it, and his much later books like The God Delusion.  In a way it's a pity he published those texts in the 2000s, as it diverts people's attention away from the earlier ground-breaking research in genetic biology.

@mapman   How many financial execs went to clink after 2008?

Some of the posts here beggar belief.

Evidently, Darwin didn't have all the science available to him that we have today, but his broad insights were extraordinary. Much later Richard Dawkins swooped in with the concept of the Selfish Gene, to dot the i's and cross the t's.
