Richard Dawkins is probably the best-known ethologist and evolutionary biologist in the world. And he's maybe the best-known atheist and secularist -- he would say "rationalist" -- in the world.

His classic books include The Blind Watchmaker, The God Delusion, and The Selfish Gene, in which, among many other things, he coined the word "meme."

Dawkins joins us for the hour.

GUESTS:

  • Richard Dawkins - The author of more than a dozen books and many more popular articles and academic papers; his new book is Science in the Soul: Selected Writings of a Passionate Rationalist

Colin McEnroe and Chion Wolf contributed to this show.

Jonathan is a producer for ‘The Colin McEnroe Show.’ His work has been heard nationally on NPR and locally on Connecticut Public’s talk shows and news magazines. He’s as likely to host a podcast on minor league baseball as he is to cover a presidential debate almost by accident. Jonathan can be reached at jmcnicol@ctpublic.org.
