About Richard Dawkins - 50 Years of The Selfish Gene.

Approximate Running Times: Doors - 6:00pm Start - 7:00pm Finish - 8:30pm In this landmark live event, world-renowned evolutionary biologist and bestselling author Richard Dawkins takes the stage to mark fifty years of The Selfish Gene: the book that reframed our understanding of life, behaviour, and human nature. Reflecting on its revolutionary ideas, the global debates it ignited, and five decades of subsequent research, this is a rare opportunity to hear one of the most influential scientific minds of our time discuss the work that defined his career. Richard Dawkins, one of the most consequential scientific communicators of our time, returns to Australia and New Zealand this November to celebrate fifty years since The Selfish Gene first transformed the scientific landscape. .
