Nature is beautiful and sometimes disastrous. Living beings can be selfish but altruistic as well. People who out rightly reject humans being selfish refuse to think logically and give examples of recent changes adopted by humans to be more altruistic as an evidence of their theory. perhaps, people don't want to accept the hard truth that living beings indeed are selfish and it isn't there fault to be evolved as biologically selfish individuals but instead it is the ruthless selfish nature of genes who can go to any extent to ensure their own survival. Possibility of a creator seemed logical when we study a thing as complex as brain, human beings being selfless seemed true when Individuals seem to express unconditional love & kindness towards others. living beings show diverse and astonishing behaviour - such richness and diversity can't be existed without a possible creator or presence of an enormously powerful energy. Is there exist a theory that can logically and convincingly explain every single human behaviour without any exception and without requiring need for the existence of a creator ? Turns out there indeed is a theory which can explain both altruistic and selfish behaviour shown by living bodies as a consequence of gene selfishness. the book will surely anger those who consider their life to have a spiritual value or purpose, when it will be logically explained that having such thoughts is also a byproduct of gene's influence on your behaviour. Author has tried to justify its claims by presenting plethora of examples covering diverse living species and then explaining why they behave in a certain way and then given the reason why it is highly likely that the same concept can be roughly applied to all living species. the job of a critical reader would be to come up with counter examples - living beings showing unexpected behaviour and whether selfish gene theory can justify such a behaviour- turns out it always will. It is hard to digest the bitter truth this book is trying to convey and the reason itself is the selfish gene who certainly know that it isn't in its best interest to let humans figure out how they evolve. paradoxically, it is the genes themselves who made us capable enough to not only ask "why we exist" but also to come up with a logical answer free from all the superstitions and prejudices. A little thinking and a slight use of mind will give you the answer of "why selfish gene let itself be discovered by humans"
