Richard Dawkins talks to Vivienne Parry

Renowned evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins guides us through The Genetic Book of the Dead, a groundbreaking exploration of the untapped potential of DNA to transform our understanding of evolution.

Dawkins explains how the body, behaviour and genes of every living creature can be read as a book – an archive of the worlds of its ancestors.

Dawkins is an eminent writer and thinker, author of The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, and The God Delusion, among others. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Royal Society of Literature. He talks to science writer and broadcaster, Vivienne Parry.
