Richard Dawkins, is a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and author.
Dawkins came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the gene-centered view of evolution and introduced the term meme. In 1982 he introduced an influential concept into evolutionary biology, presented in his book The Extended Phenotype, that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism's body, but can stretch far into the environment, including the bodies of other organisms.
He was the Professor for Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University from 1995 to 2008.
