Overview

RICHARD DAWKINS – on the untapped potential of DNA, and other matters evolutionary. 

Why do we, and all living animal species, do what we do? How might the body, the behaviour, and the genes of every living creature be read as a book – as an archive of the worlds of its ancestors?  

Evolutionary biologist, zoologist, and multi-bestselling author Professor Richard Dawkins discusses his latest book The Genetic Book of the Dead, a ground-breaking exploration of the untapped potential of DNA to transform our understanding and celebrate the wonders of evolution. 

Internationally renowned as one of the world's most eminent writers and thinkers, Richard Dawkins is the award-winning author of, among others, The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, and The God Delusion. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Royal Society of Literature, for good reason. He makes Science Literature, and begins his book like this: ‘You are a book, an unfinished work of literature . . . ‘
