Abstract
A lightening rod for controversy, Richard Dawkins has made a career out of comparing himself to Charles Darwin, author of the theory of natural selection. This paper discusses the truth of these claims. By imagining a conversation between these two scientific giants, the true similarities and differences between Dawkins and Darwin come to light, and the importance of Dawkins' role as Darwin's champion today is revealed.
