I don't know what river out of Eden is supposed to be about and I've not read A Devil's Chaplain, only got partway through the God Delusion before I realized I don't care what he has to say.
Instead of making any useful or meaningful contribution to his chosen field of [[ethology]] Richard Dawkins choose to write books.
Richard Dawkins has authored or substantially co-authored 10 books Mostly on [[evolution]]
*[[The Selfish Gene]]- (1976) About how everything in behavior is supposedly driven by selfish replication.
*[[The Extended Phenotype]]- (1982) About how far small genetic variations reach, primarily mortaring over cracks in his original book.
*[[The Blind watchmaker]] (1986) A book all about how the appearance of design is proof that there was no designer
*[[River out of Eden]]- (1995)
*[[Climbing Mount Improbable]]- (1996) A somewhat paradoxical text arguing that improbably events are really probable, flying in the face of modern [[statistics]].
*[[Unweaving the Rainbow]]- (1998) A book about how explaining away mysteries doesn't destroy the romance of them, in the process completely destroying the romance of several mysteries.
*[[A Devil's Chaplain]]- (2003)
*[[The Ancestor's Tale]]- (2004) A very repetitive book discussing the benefits of several characteristics of living species, and attempting to link them together in a [[Missing link|lineage for mankind]]
*[[The God Delusion]]- (2006) A book where he attempts to show that belief in [[God]] is irrational.
*[[The Greatest Show on Earth]]- 2009 subtitled the evidence for evolution. Dawkins personal summary and narrative about why everyone should have faith in evolution. [[Counterexamples to Evolution|Counterexamples]] not included.
