Sex, Death And The Meaning Of LifeS1 Ep1 - Life After Death

Life After Death - Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins asks if science can provide answers to the big questions we used to entrust to religion. In this episode, Richard explores what science can tell us about death. It's a journey that takes him from Hindu funeral pyres in India to genetics labs in New York. Dawkins brings together the latest theories in neuroscience and genetics to examine why we crave life after death, why we evolved to age, and how the human genome is something like real immortality.
