An Evening with Richard Dawkins
Settle in for an unforgettable evening with Richard Dawkins, the world-renowned evolutionary biologist, author, and public intellectual, as he embarks on a highly anticipated tour across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and European Union, starting September 2024.
Renowned for his unapologetic advocacy of science and reason, Dawkins is celebrated for groundbreaking work such as Unweaving The Rainbow, The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion, captivating millions with his passion for scientific inquiry.
Dawkins aims to connect with audiences in unscripted conversations touching on topics from science to religion, life on earth and beyond. With his trademark honesty and wit, Dawkins promises an evening filled with wisdom and insight.
Don't miss the opportunity to be part of this enlightening experience and hear firsthand about Dawkins' upcoming book promoted on tour: The Genetic Book of the Dead delves into the transformative potential of DNA in our understanding of evolution.
Professor Richard Dawkins is a world-renowned truth-teller, evolutionary biologist, and best-selling author, celebrated globally for his honest critique of religion and tradition and his push for critical thinking. His books include “The Ancestor’s Tale,” “The Selfish Gene,” “The Blind Watchmaker,” “Climbing Mount Improbable,” “Unweaving the Rainbow,” “A Devil’s Chaplain,” “The God Delusion,” “The Greatest Show on Earth,” “The Magic of Reality,” his two-part autobiography “An Appetite for Wonder” and “A Brief Candle in the Dark,” and “Outgrowing God: A Beginner’s Guide.”
Richard Dawkins has gained notoriety for his unwavering commitment to science as an advocate for scientific literacy and rational thinking, particularly in the education of younger generations. His relentless pursuit of truth, and his recognition of the beauty in life on earth, has made him a revered source of wisdom and insight, in response to scientific and existential inquiries like ‘What are we doing here?’ and ‘When did life begin?’
