Richard Dawkins - The Genius of Charles Darwin - Part 1: Life, Darwin & Everything [+Subs]

In the first part of this series, Richard Dawkins retraces Darwin's journey as a scientist, from the UK via Africa, to America.

He re-examines the rich evidence of the natural world which opened Darwin's eyes to the extraordinary truth that all living things must be related and had evolved from a common ancestor.

Darwin knew his espousal of evolution would cause outrage, challenging, as it did, the prevailing religious view of the world and our place in it.

As Dawkins explains, it was really his theory of natural selection that undermined the notion of a benevolent God who designed all creatures great and small.

Back in Britain, Dawkins tries to convince a year 11 science class that evolution is the truth but confesses that 'a few hours in the science lab is no substitute for a lifetime of religious indoctrination'.
