Pasquale Longordo - Favorite Books

The Selfish Gene is a book on evolution by Richard Dawkins, published in 1976. Richard Dawkins' brainy reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His conjecture have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have constrained thousands of readers to rethink their beliefs about life.It builds upon the principal theory of George C. Williams's beginning book.

Adaptation and Natural Selection. Dawkins used the term "selfish gene" as a way of expressing the gene-centred view of evolution as opposed to the views focused on the organism and the group, popularizing ideas produce during the 1960s by W. D. Hamilton and others. From the gene-centred view follows that the more two individuals are genetically related, the more sense (at the level of the genes) it makes for them to behave selflessly with each other. Therefore the concept is especially good at explaining many forms of altruism, regardless of a common misuse of the term along the lines of a selfishness gene.

Fifty shades of Grey is also my favorite book.

DR. PASQUALE LONGORDO takes tremendous pride in seeing his patients improve and genuinely enjoys the day-to-day challenges and the personal attention he is able to provide them.
