Join me this September to explore the birthplace of Western thought. We’ll walk where philosophers questioned the cosmos—and do it in style aboard Diana, a state-of-the-art expedition ship with discussions and fine wine. An odyssey of the mind awaits: ow.ly/VNff50VrcuU

I will be joining Steven Pinker (Steven Pinker) in London on June 3rd, where he will be discussing the future of humanity. Tickets are available here: panpsycast.com/tickets

I’m greatly looking forward to this event tonight. Prof Turi King is interviewing me on The Genetic Book of the Dead, but I hope to turn the tables with at least one question to her on DNA fingerprinting and how she identified Richard III. richarddawkins.com

theguardian.com/law/live/2025/… “But we counsel against reading this judgement as a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another, it is not.” Yes it is. It’s a triumph of science and commonsense. Rejoice.

thetimes.com/uk/society/art… Supreme Court rules that a woman is legally defined as . . . a woman. Congratulations. And “The concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man”. Yes, the science was settled in the Precambrian. Nice that the law has finally caught up.

Aggressively dominant male mammals typically urinate to scent-mark their territory. “I’ll piss where I like." "I❤️pissin' on TERFs." They think they’re women. But can you imagine a better walking, talking, reeking advertisement for toxic masculinity? #SexMatters

This June, I shall be lecturing in the Arctic — where glaciers gleam beneath a sleepless sun, and polar bears roam the drifting silence. If you're driven by curiosity and a reverence for the natural world, I hope you'll join me. newscientist.com/tours/new-scie…

You are a book—an unfinished work of literature, a comprehensive dossier of colourful worlds long vanished. On Thursday 29 May at @HayFestival, I’ll join Vivienne Parry to discuss The Genetic Book of the Dead and the deep history inscribed in our genes.📷 hayfestival.com/p-23017-richar…

Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States:

Brilliant review of The Genetic Book of the Dead, by @NathanLents in Free Inquiry, now under the predictably excellent Editorship of Ron Lindsay. Lents’s review is exactly what a review should be, going beyond the book to say things the author wishes he had thought of himself.

Opera. Nice aria by Lars Alm. And he's given me a nice voice! suno.com/song/22f10e5b-…
