Conference : Brighton Science Festival
2006
At the very end of The Selfish Gene Dawkins asks whether
genes are the only replicators on this planet: they are not. There is
a second replicator; ideas, skills and habits compete to be copied and
evolve in their own right. He calls them “memes”. Taking the
meme’s eye view transforms our understanding of mind, brain and
human nature – and gives a scary view of our future evolution.
