Author : Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist, ethologist, and author renowned for his influential contributions to the fields of science and literature. Born on March 26, 1941, in Nairobi, Kenya, and raised in England, Dawkins earned his doctorate at the University of Oxford under the mentorship of Nobel laureate Nikolaas Tinbergen. He gained international fame with his first book, "The Selfish Gene," published in 1976, which introduced the concept of the gene-centered view of evolution and popularized the term "meme." A prominent advocate for rationalism and secularism, Dawkins has authored several bestsellers, including "The God Delusion," and he is known for his eloquent critiques of religion and pseudoscience. Through his writing and public speaking, Dawkins has aimed to demystify science and articulate its wonder, most notably in works like "Unweaving the Rainbow," where he explores the relationship between science and the appreciation of beauty in the natural world.
