Jonathan Silvertown – Genes, Egoism and the Power of Cooperation: Evolution as a Team Game
In a world often defined by competition for resources, it’s easy to see individualism as the engine of progress. Yet evolutionary biologist Jonathan Silvertown argues that cooperation, not selfishness, has driven life forward for 4 billion years. Drawing on surprising examples—from the behavior of rats and crows, to the structure of earthworms and lichens, to pirate codes and charitable organizations—Silvertown shows that every creature, including humans, is wired to collaborate in its own interest. There is no contradiction: joining forces for mutual benefit and risk prevention sparked life itself and shaped evolution. Our tendency to help each other is rooted in a biological law that drives cooperation. Meanwhile, senseless violence, the author contends, is the greatest challenge to human survival as a species. This book offers a fresh lens on teamwork—perfect for fans who understand that the best results come from playing together.
