A thorough but not densely written explanation of the basics of how and why natural selection works and can lead to incredible complexity with tiny steps and without a master plan.

Also introduced the term "meme" for the unit of cultural evolution comparable to the gene of biological evolution.

Old, but definitely gold.

Having started with "The blind watchmaker", I hopped right on to "The selfish gene" (was amazed when reading him defining meme) and now I gotta keep reading Dawkins.
