Did you know that Clinton Richard Dawkins (b. 1941,
Nairobi)* apparently endorses
cannibalism? Or that he participated in
a debate with A.E. Wilder-Smith (d. 1995).
See below for the quotes from my book published last year.
I self-published my latest book (Biological Essentialism) through Barnes and Noble. Since I attempted to change the price, my
book has vanished since the middle of December (2021). Here is an excerpt from my book (Chapter 1). Please join my letter writing campaign to the
B&N CEO to get my book on bio-essentialism out of limbo:

On cannibalism, Dawkins said this on a tweet from March
3rd, 2018:
Tissue culture "clean meat" already in
2018? I've long been looking forward to
this. What if human meat is grown? Could we overcome our taboo against
cannibalism? An interesting test case
for consequentialist morality versus "yuck reaction" absolutism. [1]
Dawkins had a little-known debate with A.E. Wilder-Smith
(who had 3 earned Doctorates). Special
kudos goes out to Paul Humber for helpful research on this topic. The Oxford Union Debate of 1986, also known
as the Huxley Memorial Debate, dealt with origins. During this intellectual row, Dawkins'
rhetoric goes far afield of a reasoned defense of Darwin:
...a professional zoologist finds it rather depressing
that this debate has to take place at all.
To get an idea of how it feels to people like Professor Maynard-Smith
[Dawkins' partner in the debate] and myself; imagine that you’re an ancient
historian called to the dispatch box to defend the proposition that the Roman
Empire ever existed. [2]
Questioning evolution and denying the reality of the
Roman Empire are as alike as chalk and cheese.
You can look up online the writings of Cicero, Virgil, Ovid or Tacitus
(d. ~125 AD). We cannot read the
eyewitness account of a reptile, slowly turning into a pigeon after myriads of
generations.
