Dawkins and the selfish gene

Richard Dawkins made famous the theory of the ''selfish gene'' - inciting one of the most controversial debates in science today.

Yet he has held steadfastly to the belief in the universal objectivity of science, an unfashionable contemporary heir to the Enlightenment ideal.
