Hi,
>Oh I know who Dawkins IS (1st saw him on the Christmas Lectures a few years back - my favourite "kids'" programme :-)

Didn't know he did that but, as you say, the lectures are usually enjoyable. Wonder who we're getting this year ?

>>The Selfish Gene
>>The Extended Phenotype
>>The Blind Watchmaker
>>River out of Eden

I guess I was thinking of the first three which are all on the same(ish) theme. The last one's more about micochondria. He's also written a lot of other stuff (e.g. "The Evolution of Bill Clinton: Sex and Power"<g>)

>Maybe I'll get one in my Xmas stocking :-)
Arrgh - don't start with that already....

Best,
Viv
