Changes

Dawkins's synopsis shows that he has not adapted to this view. He nods at cooperation among genes, but assimilates it as a kind of selfishness. The microbiome and the 3D genome go unnoticed. Epigenetics is an "interesting, if rather rare, phenomenon" enjoying its "fifteen minutes of pop science voguery", which it has been doing since at least 2009, when Dawkins made the same claim in The Greatest Show on Earth (Transworld). Dawkins adheres to a deterministic language of "genes for" traits. As I and other historians have shown, such hereditarianism plays into the hands of the self-styled race realists (N. Comfort Nature 513, 306-307; 2014).<ref>[http://www.evolutionnews.org/2015/09/dawkinss_contri099211.html Dawkins's Contributions as a Scientist Are Already Past Their Sell-By Date, Says Nature Reviewer] by David Klinghoffer September 10, 2015 12:33, Evolution News and Views</ref>}}

The works of [[New Atheism|New Atheist]], including the work of New Atheist Richard Dawkins, often betray an amateurish knowledge of philosophy/religion/science.
