THE SELFISH GENIUS
How Richard Dawkins Rewrote Darwin’s Legacy

FERN ELSDON-BAKER

PUBLICATION DATE: 16 JULY 2009

Paperback Original

On July 1st 1858, in a sweltering meeting room in the heart of London, Charles Darwin’s pioneering and then unpublished theory of evolution was unveiled to a small group of eminent scientists and professors.

Now, over one hundred and fifty years later, Fern Elsdon-Baker – Head of the British Council’s Darwin Now International Project – enters the evolutionary debate with her own controversial offering, THE SELFISH GENIUS.

Provocative and entertaining, THE SELFISH GENIUS is a much-needed corrective of famous evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins’ highly popular neo-Darwinist theories. Dawkins’ book The Selfish Gene was a smash hit in the 70s, single-handedly wrestling the evolutionary debate from the hands of scientists and placing it in the hands of the public. Dawkins’ passion and vision make his books important reading, but, thirty years on, Elsdon-Baker fears that the Dawkins Discussion has become the Dawkins Discourse, an outdated and prescriptive way of understanding evolution that actually restricts debate rather than exciting it.

As a rational pro-science atheist and specialist in the history and communication of evolutionary theory, Fern Elsdon-Baker has the academic tools and the intellectual daring to disassemble the Dawkins myth and method that has monopolised the popular understanding of evolutionary development for the latter half of the twentieth century. Richard Dawkins, she argues, was the typical “Enlightenment Gent,” an outdated and uncompromising figurehead that wielded the broad sword of popular Science in a violent attempt to silence any evolutionary narrative that wasn’t his own.

2009 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s seminal work, On The Origin of the Species, as well as the bicentenary of Darwin’s birth. So what better gift to the founder of evolution than reclaiming his groundbreaking theories from the dangerously totalitarian science of Dawkins’ populist

hypotheses. Just as The Selfish Gene attempted to tie up the evolutionary debate once and for all, THE SELFISH GENIUS seeks to re-inject inquiry and current research back into the debate, to separate Darwin from Dawkins and in doing so, re-open both public and scientific conversations about where we come from and where we are heading.

FERN ELSDON-BAKER holds a BSc in Environmental Sciences and a PhD in which she specialised in the history and philosophy of evolutionary theory. Dr Elsdon-Baker is currently a member of the central council and the programmes committee for the British Society for the History of Science and also the Recorder for the History of Science section of the British Science Association. In 2008 she became Head of the British Council’s Darwin Now International Project.

    The Quest for Right: A Creationist Attack on Quantum Mechanics. Here’s a different take on creationism/ID:

    The Quest for Right, a multi-volume series on science, attacks Darwinism indirectly, by attacking quantum mechanics. A more sophisticated way to argue against Darwin is certainly to argue against modern physics. Without modern physics, you lose astrophysics too, which enables the author to make the case for YEC [young earth creationism]. The author goes on to prove that things like red supergiant stars and X-ray pulsars don’t really exist, except in the imagination of scientists.
