El gen egoísta es una obra de divulgación científica del etólogo Richard Dawkins, publicado en 1976. En él, Dawkins expone la teoría de la evolución desde el punto de vista del gen, y no del individuo. Argumenta que los genes son las unidades fundamentales de la selección natural, y que los individuos son simplemente vehículos para su replicación. Esta edición del 30 aniversario incluye una nueva introducción del autor, así como los prefacios y el prólogo originales, y extractos de las primeras reseñas. Tan relevante e influyente hoy como cuando se publicó por primera vez, El gen egoísta se ha convertido en una exposición clásica del pensamiento evolutivo.

Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist, zoologist, science communicator and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford. In 1995, he was named the first Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, a position he held until 2008, and is on the advisory board of the University of Austin. Dawkins has won several academic and writing awards, among them the 2005 Shakespeare Prize and the 2006 Lewis Thomas Prize. Presenting the latter, Paul Nurse said "In eloquent, evocative prose, Richard Dawkins conveys the certainty that, rather than diminishing the myriad beauties of the universe and extinguishing wonderment at its mysteries, science reveals truths that are yet more awe-inspiring than the mysteries they solve."
