Richard Dawkins

The Genetic Book of the Dead: A Darwinian Reverie

 – Venue 1

Multi-bestselling author Richard Dawkins guides us through The Genetic Book of the Dead, a ground-breaking 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 one of the world's most eminent writers and thinkers. He is the award-winning author of The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, and The God Delusion, among others.

He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Royal Society of Literature.

Price: £16.00
