Is there a meaning to our lives? What are we here for? Author Richard Dawkins unlocks some interesting answers to such intriguing questions in his book 'The Selfish Gene'. Genes don’t care which organisms live or die, they just need robust containers that can nurture and propagate them. Dawkins calls us all, survival machines for the genes. Dawkins also coined the word, “memes” from a Greek word meaning imitation. He defines memes as ideas, catch phrases, tunes, fashion etc. Just like genes leap from one body to another, memes leap from one brain to another through imitation. The Selfish Gene contains such fascinating ideas.
