The Reality of Sex & Gender, Evolutionary History & Free Will - Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist and author. Richard's 1976 book The Selfish Gene popularised the gene-centered view of evolution, as well as coining the term meme. Dawkins is a vocal atheist and is often referred to as one of the four horsemen of the New Atheism movement which began to gain traction in the mid-2000s, catalysed in large part by Dawkins' 2006 book, The God Delusion. Richard’s latest book, The Genetic Book of the Dead: A Darwinian Reverie, is available to pre-order now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0300278098/ #science #history #interview SPONSORS: Protect your home this summer with 20% off any new SimpliSafe system when you sign up for Fast Protect Monitoring.
