Richard Dawkins and T.H. White are distant cousins




This, just in from out Trivia Desk, wins Trivial Fact of the Day.

The Wikipedia entry for this blog's hero T.H. White tells you that that one of his great great grandfathers was a clergyman and author from Cape Colony, part of what later became South Africa, called Abraham Faure.

Go to the Wikipedia entry for Abraham Faure and you find that he is also a great great great grandfather of the scientist Richard Dawkins.
