Richard Dawkins, arrogant prick and very smart evolutionary scientist

More than a little touched with hubris, Richard Dawkins strayed too far with his idea of The Selfish Gene, encouraging even historians to impregnate their studies with his unhelpful concept of historical evolution. But when he stays focused on science, he can be devastating. Creationism: God's gift to the ignorant is an example of this man's abilities. Christians in Kansas beware, daring-do Dawkins is on the case.

  • despite being a good idea, the concept of the gene as a selectable unit of evolution falls short in many respects. Any given gene cannot control it's ability to be passed on. The selfish genome would be more plausible.
