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:https://www.amazon.com/dp/0300278098/Join our Premium Membership for early access, extended and ad-free content: https://triggernometry.supercast.comOR Support TRIGGERnometry Here:Bitcoin: bc1qm6vvhduc6s3rvy8u76sllmrfpynfv94qw8p8d5Music by: Music by: Xentric | info@xentricapc.com | https://www.xentricapc.com/ YouTube: @xentricapc Buy Merch Here:https://www.triggerpod.co.uk/shop/Advertise on TRIGGERnometry:marketing@triggerpod.co.ukJoin the Mailing List:https://www.triggerpod.co.uk/#mailinglistFind TRIGGERnometry on Social Media: https://twitter.com/triggerpodhttps://www.facebook.com/triggerpod/https://www.instagram.com/triggerpod/About TRIGGERnometry: Stand-up comedians Konstantin Kisin (@konstantinkisin) and Francis Foster (@francisjfoster) make sense of politics, economics, free speech, AI, drug policy and WW3 with the help of presidential advisors, renowned economists, award-winning journalists, controversial writers, leading scientists and notorious comedians.
