Why evolution is more than just a theory: it is a fact
In all the current highly publicized debates about creationism and its descendant "intelligent design," there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned-the evidence , the empirical truth of evolution by natural selection. Even Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould, while extolling the beauty of evolution and examining case studies, have not focused on the evidence itself. Yet the proof is vast, varied, and magnificent, drawn from many different fields of science. Scientists are observing species splitting into two and are finding more and more fossils capturing change in the past-dinosaurs that have sprouted feathers, fish that have grown limbs.
Why Evolution Is True weaves together the many threads of modern work in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that demonstrate the "indelible stamp" of the processes first proposed by Darwin. In crisp, lucid prose accessible to a wide audience, Why Evolution Is True dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms that this amazing process of change has been firmly established as a scientific truth.
记得是在刚上大学那会儿看方舟子的科普文章,然后再慢慢的接触演化论的。我不是学生物学的,我所学的专业与生物学少有联系,跟演化论则完全没有关系。但是作为一名理工科的学生,演化论的逻辑却深深的吸引了我。 演化论不仅仅是一种理论,更是被主流学术界接受的一种事实。演化...
评分对于个研究基因组进化的小硕,要是谈起进化论(貌似书里提出用演化论更准确但是习惯了。。)都不能说出个123那可太丢人了。。桌上现在还放着本北大科学元典版本舒得干翻译的《物种起源》,之前翻开过两次,可问题是是在读不下去呐。。这本书读起来倒是非常顺畅,碰到比...
评分《为什么要相信达尔文》一书的首版是2009年,2009年对于达尔文和他创造的演化科学是不同寻常的一年,2月12日是他诞辰200周年纪念日,11月24日是其巨著《物种起源》出版150周年纪念日。芝加哥大学生态与演化生物学系终身教授 杰里•科因,本书的作者,在同年1月出版了这本书,...
评分大家好!我是本书的译者叶盛。应编辑的建议,在这里贴出译后记,希望能引起更多人的兴趣。有问题,欢迎一起讨论,共同提高。 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 书终于译完了,感慨良多,不免想要写下来与读者们分享。动笔之前,我决定去厨房给自己冲一杯咖啡。恰巧房...
评分最近在读这本书+有摩门教会的朋友拉我入教= = 简直就是悲剧。。在这种背景下,虽然是学生物的,还是觉得作者一些激进吧。看完再评价。。
好书推荐。很多时候我们只知道去支持或者去反对,却并不知道为什么支持为什么反对,不去理解事物的本身是如何,为什么正确为什么错误,以及何处有局限何处又很合理。
