Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to check it out.
I got into Dawkins’ books initially from The God Delusion (as I suspect many laypeople), and heard about The Selfish Gene from there, so evolutionary biology is not my area.
It makes sense that TSG is considered the dark ages as it’s such an old book. I was always curious to read more about the topic from other — and hopefully more recent — biologists, since Dawkins sometimes feels like he’s more of a communicator than a practicing biologist (and one with a particularly anti-religious chip on his shoulder, not that he’s wrong.)
