An Evening with Richard Dawkins
Friday, 07/11/2025 / 08:00 PM - 10:30 PM / Laeiszhalle (Kleiner Saal)
Richard Dawkins offers us a new perspective on evolution and life. Every living organism can be read like a book of its past: the behavior, appearance, and genetics of a creature reveal not only information about its ancestors but also about the world in which they lived.
Please note that the event will be held in English.
The animals and plants around us become windows into the distant past of our planet. With countless fascinating examples from the realm of biology, Dawkins once again fills us with wonder – at the marvels of life and the science capable of unlocking its secrets. A remarkable book by the greatest biologist of our time – richly illustrated.
Richard Dawkins, born in 1941, studied biology at Oxford, where he taught until 2008, first as a lecturer in zoology, later as a professor. Through his book »The Selfish Gene«, Dawkins became known far beyond scientific circles; the book is considered one of the central works in evolutionary biology. Dawkins is a passionate advocate for the ideas of the Enlightenment.
