The river of Dawkins's title is a river of DNA, flowing through time from the beginning of life on earth to the present – and onwards. Dawkins explains that DNA must be thought of as the most sophisticated information system imaginable: 'Life is just bytes and bytes of information,' he writes. Using this perspective, he describes the mechanisms by which evolution has taken place, gradually but inexorably, over a period of three thousand million years. It is the story of how evolution happens, rather than a narrative of what has actually happened in evolution. He discusses current views on the process of human evolution, including the idea that we all trace back to a comparatively recent African 'Eve', and speculates that the 'information explosion' that was unleashed on Earth when DNA came into being has almost certainly happened in other places in the universe.
Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist renowned throughout the world. He was educated at Oxford and taught zoology before becoming the first holder of the Charles Simonyi Chair of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, in 1995. His previous books rank among the most influential intellectual works of our time., They include The Selfish Gene (1976), River Out Of Eden (1995), and Unweaving The Rainbow (1999).

也是讲述生物进化的一本书,很多观点其实在《自私的基因》中都有提到,个人觉得此书语言过于唠叨,估计是翻译的不好,比不上《自私的基因》。 不过书中有几个例子记忆深刻,如眼睛的进化,蜜蜂的舞蹈行为的进化。。。比较有意思

评分自然中不乏残忍,想想有一些毛虫将从内部活活被体内泥蜂的幼虫所吞噬,而无法动弹,想想瞪羚在被追捕至死亡时承受着可怕的痛苦和恐怖。自然有一点仁慈之心,它至少会做出使毛虫被从内部活活吃掉之前先行麻醉这样一个小小的让步,或是给与瞪羚一种基因,使它们在遭到致命...
评分瑞达里奥推荐的关于进化的书 很有趣,看推理的部分很能锻炼思维。 除此之外还有两个很想说的, 一是生命只是基因的载体,为了让自己更多地复制,基因在复制过程中逐渐增添功能,从单一的可以复制的化学分子到多细胞到生物,这种感觉就像是为了卖电视,不断增加它的附加功能,只...
评分达尔文在一种动物的帮助下放弃了信仰。他写道:“我实在无法说服自己,慈悲为怀、神通广大的神会有计划地创造出姬蜂,并令其蓄意在活生生的毛虫体内进食。”实际上,达尔文逐渐丧失宗教信仰有着更为复杂的原因。他也因为担心会惹恼虔诚信教的妻子艾玛,而不愿提及有关信仰的话...
