  • This was my initial reaction when I read the title. But then I read the article. [quote]To qualify for this year's world thinkers rankings, it was not enough to have written a seminal book, inspired an intellectual movement or won a Nobel prize several years ago (hence the absence from the 65-strong long list of ageing titans such as Noam Chomsky or Edward O Wilson); the selectors' remit ruthlessly insisted on [u]"influence over the past 12 months" and "significance to the year's biggest questions".[/u][/quote] There are VERY few people who become famous for being intelligent. I'm sure there are multiple people who are more intelligent than him, but Dawkin's influence snatched him the award.
