Richard Dawkins
Clinton Richard Dawkins (known as Richard Dawkins) was born on March 26, 1941 in Nairobi, Kenya. He moved with his parents to England when he was eight. Later he studied zoology at Balliol College, Oxford, and gained a second class BA degree in zoology in 1962, followed by a MA and DPhil degree in 1966.

Between 1967 and 1969, Dawkins was an assistant professor of zoology at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1970 he was appointed a lecturer and then in 1990 a reader in zoology at the University of Oxford, before becoming the University's first Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science in 1995. He has been a fellow of New College, Oxford, since 1970.

Dawkins is probably best known for his atheistic and anti-religious views. Also worthy of note is his "selfish gene" concept, and his uncompromising attitude against intelligent design and creationism.
