About this episode

Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist and author. His 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 Dawkin's 2006 book, The God Delusion. Richard’s latest book, The Genetic Book of the Dead: A Darwinian Reverie, is available to pre-order now:
