Richard Dawkins, (born 26 March 1941) is an English ethologist, evolutionary biologist, and author.
He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, and he served as the University of Oxford's Professor of Public Understanding of Science from 1995 to 2008. Dawkins' book The Selfish Gene, a 1976 book that popularized the gene-centred view of evolution and coined memes, came to prominence.
He introduced the influential theory that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not restricted to an organism's body but can also extend into the environment.
In 2006, Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science was established. Dawkins is known as a vocal atheist.
He is best known for his critique of creationism and intelligent design.
He argues against the watchmaker analogy in The Blind Watchmaker (1986), a defense of a supernatural creator based on the diversity of living organisms.
Rather, he compares evolutionary processes to a blind watchmaker, in the sense that reproduction, mutation, and selection are unguided by a designer.
Dawkins' book The God Delusion (2006) argues that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that religious belief is a delusion. Dawkins has received numerous prestigious academic and writing awards, as well as appearing on television, radio, and Internet, mainly speaking about his books, his atheism, and his views and opinions as a public intellectual.

In 1992, he married actress Lalla Ward in Kensington and Chelsea, London. Dawkins met her through a mutual friend, Douglas Adams, who had worked with her on BBC's Doctor Who. Dawkins and Ward separated in 2016 and reportedly referred to the split as "completely amicable." He describes himself as a "cultural Anglican" and a "secular Christian" and a "cultural Anglican."
While at home, the Dawkins suffered a minor haemorrhagic stroke on February 6, 2016. Dawkins announced later that year that he had almost recovered.
