Science & the City presents an intimate evening with Richard Dawkins. In his new book he justifies his reputation as “Darwin’s Rottweiler” by laying out the evidence that evolution is an incontrovertible fact. The Greatest Show on Earth is a thrilling tour into our distant past and the interstices of life on earth.
