Jun 5, 2018 · When Richard Dawkins published his book on the Extended Phenotype (EP) in 1982 ( The Extended Phenotype: The Long Reach of the Gene ), it was received as an interesting but relatively minor addition to evolutionary theory primarily confined to a few poster child examples such as beaver dams and termite nests.
