Lalla ward is a well-known actor, she was in Doctor Who for quite some time when she was younger.

In fact, before Dawkins she was married to Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor.

That's the first time I've seen Dawkins' wife. She is a handsome woman.

ancestor's tale is an awesome book, by the way.


It is, infact, Dawkins' best. And thats a strong field. It is probably one of the most fascinating books I have read and is ever going to read. To say that it is a must-read is an understatement. For those who do not enjoy the act of reading itself, there is an excellent Audiobook read by Richard and his wife, Lalla Ward

First of all, Lalla ward is only reading it, the text is written by Richard Dawkins, so aim your accusations at him.. Secondly what "scientific misunderstanding"? Clearly Dawkins knows as well as anyone that there is a difference between chimps and humans, scientifically speaking, what makes us "different species" is that we cant interbreed. There are ofcourse also many other obvious differences, and there is no problem putting us into different categories. His argument is that since we are actually connected in a unbroken line of breeders, separated only by time, not geography, it makes interesting food for thought.

Imagine if it was like the herring gulls, with chimps and humans living side by side in england, and as you went east, "humans" became more and more chimp-like and the chimps got more and more human-like in the westword direction, where would you draw the line?

Its easier when all the intermediates are dead, that was Dawkins' point.

By the way: Chimps arent our ancestors, we share ancestors, so to get to the chimp from human you would first have to go back to our shared ancestor, and then forward again to the chimp..
