Richard Dawkins’ Pens Children’s Book On
‘Magic’ Of Evolution
Dawkins' aim, according to Eureka, is to arm the
young, as well as the old, with the ability to think
critically like a scientist. The author desired to
share with his readers the supposed truth of
evolution, which to him, was more interesting and more
poetic than biblical “myths” and “hundreds of
[other] creation myths from around the world.” While
many adults still find the concept of evolution a
hard-to-digest, he saiys, children who were not
“weighed down by misleading familiarity,”
surprisingly found some aspects of science, like
evolution, easier to understand.
