Clinton Richard Dawkins, FRS is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and popular science writer who holds the Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford.

Dawkins first came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the gene-centered view of evolution and introduced the term meme, helping found the field of memetics. In 1982, he made a widely-cited contribution to the science of evolution with the theory, presented in his book The Extended Phenotype, that phenotypic effects are not limited to an organism's body but can stretch far into the environment, including into the bodies of other organisms. He has since written several best-selling popular books, and appeared in a number of television and radio programmes, concerning evolutionary biology, creationism, and religion.

Dawkins is an outspoken antireligionist, atheist, secular humanist, and sceptic, and he is a supporter of the Brights movement. In a play on Thomas Huxley's epithet "Darwin's bulldog", Dawkins' impassioned advocacy of evolution has earned him the appellation "Darwin's rottweiler".

  • The same old watchmaker argument.

    I did study DNA (as well as RNA, as well as protein biosynthesis). You have no clue.

  • Dawkins an idiot? That's rich! I suggest you educate yourself. By the way, you shouldn't capitalise nouns, especially those which relate to fantasy sky-wizards

  • "And Richard Dawkins thinks He Is Intelligent?

    I doubt it."

    What? He's doctor of evolutionary biology for crying out loud.
