About this listen

 Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion and a life-long committed Darwinist, abridges and reads this special audio version of Charles Darwin's famous book. A literally world-changing book, Darwin put forward the anti-religious and scientific idea that humans in fact evolved over millions of generations from animals, starting with fish, all the way up through the ranks to apes, then to our current form.

Dawkin's passion for his subject and hero are clear and exciting for listeners, who, whatever their religious or scientific views, will be intrigued and captivated by this involving production of arguably one of the most important books of all time.

It was such a delight to hear Charles Darwin's "On the origin of species" read by Dr Richard Dawkins. Dr Dawkins has edited it a bit and in this abridged version, so some of the long drawn comparisons done by Charles Darwin e.g. the necks of Finches, is removed. But I think all salient parts are included.

Despite he devoting his life to this research that quite convincingly comes out with the explanation how natural selection is responsible for the intricate designs available in nature, we still have people believing in an intelligent creator.

Some parts of the book needs to be repeatedly heard to actually sink in.

enthralling even after 150 years of work
