I love how you would corner her in the ring, ready to deliver a devastating knock-out blow! As far as I am concerned Richard won unanimously.

3. The Lava Lizard's Tale

I highly recommend you all read The Ancestor's Tale. I have about 50 pages remaining in this great tome. This video posted here is of the same style exhibited in that great book.

4. Richard Dawkins on five of his favorite books

I would definitely be interested in reading a science fiction novel written by Dawkins. He could combine real science within a fictitious world that he himself shall create. Richard please do it!

Some of my favorites:

1. The Iliad & Odyssey
2. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
3. Zorba the Greek
4. The Last Temptation of Christ
5. Hamlet

5. The Salamander's Tale

I love all of Prof. Dawkins' work. I have read most of his books, seen all of his videos, and idolize him. One small point though.

I hope no one gets the impression that the final image in the video, consisting of "Oliver" the chimpanzee, is human-chimpanzee hybrid created through human-chimpanzee interbreeding. Indeed he is not.

Supposedly geneticists thoroughly tested Oliver and they concluded that he is a normal chimpanzee. His strange behavior (for a chimpanzee anyway) which included bipedalism was probably as a result of training. Though that does not detract the fact that our ape cousin is a fascinating being. Search him on youtube.com.
