When you have that fire in your belly, Richard Dawkins is arguably the greatest popularizer of evolution of life.
His seminal work, The Selfish Gene, inspired a generation of students in evolutionary biology, while The God Delusion was a powerful and effective self-esteem booster for atheists in the closet.
With his new book, entitled The Greatest Show on Earth splendid, Dawkins joins other purveyors of what has become almost a rite of passage – for the case of evolution to the general public.
It’s like the bell ring game in the county fair where all able young men, feels compelled to step up and turn the giant mallet.
