In this fascinating 3 hour Channel Four series Richard Dawkins, best selling author of The God Delusion, addresses arguably the biggest question of all - 'How did the human species come into existence?'

Dawkins on Darwin celebrates the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and shows how evidence supporting the theory of evolution has been accumulated by scientists ever since Darwin's stunning discovery. In addition to explaining Darwin's ideas, Dawkins also shows how the intellectual journey undertaken by Darwin led inevitably to an atheistic world view. For, once nature could be explained by the theory of evolution, it simply wasn't necessary to continue with the idea that God was responsible for all Creation.

This series is essential viewing for fans of Richard Dawkins and anyone who wishes to understand Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
