Book summary

This book supports Richard Dawkins's elaboration of Universal Darwinism, namely the assumption that units of culture (memes) are conveyed through a process of natural selection and imitation. The author maintains that memes influence the evolution of human behavior and account for behaviors such as celibacy and altruism. A New York Times Notable Book for 1999.

Media reviews

"Just as it was most refreshing to see the biological world from the gene's point of view, so it is refreshing to see the psychological world from the thought's point of view."
