Don't bother with this.

I'm reading Information and Meaning in Evolutionary Processes by Harms and it goes off on how weak Dawkins is.

		I recently ran across an edition of the Selfish Gene which adds two chapters from The Extended Phenotype that are supposed to fix/clarify some things. I haven't read any of the 3 books mentioned in this thread, but it makes me curious if there's any connection between the criticism and the updates.

Oh, I plan to re-read this in the near future!

"Intelligent life on a planet comes of age when it first works out the reason for its own existence"

In my original comment, I Iisted some other books by Dawkins if you're interested -
