THE SCIENCE SHOW - What's in a Selfish Gene?

Saturday April 29, 12.10pm & Monday May 1, 7.10pm

Last week we heard from Richard Dawkins whose book The Selfish Gene was
published 30 years ago. It was one of the most influential works of the 20th
century. This week philosopher Daniel Dennett, biologist Sir John Krebs,
science writer Matt Ridley and novelist Ian McEwan give their assessments on
its impact. They were speaking at a public event at the London School of
Economics, chaired by author Melvyn Bragg. It was recorded exclusively for
the Science Show.
