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.
Jerry A. Coyne has been a professor at the University of Chicago in the department of ecology and evolution for twenty years. He specializes in evolutionary genetics and works predominantly on the origin of new species. He is a regular contributor to The New Republic, the Times Literary Supplement, and other publications.
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...
评分正如作者所说,这是一部有趣的书,阅读之后简直就是醍醐灌顶如坐春风。这是一部写给演化论反对者的书,更是一部为盲目相信演化论的那些支持者所书写的书,而在演化论几乎罕见敌手的中国,这部书的出版和翻译更是弥足珍贵。 作者首先理清了演化的概念,从化石、基因、生...
评分我一直没有找到一本适合的书来谈论进化论,《物种起源》我不敢读,其它的我不想读,直到遇到芝加哥大学生物学教授杰里•科因的《为什么要相信达尔文》。 这本书就像它的名字(直译是:为什么进化论是真的?)所宣称的那样,为达尔文做了极其出色的辩护。出色的以...
评分提问 观众9:刚才龙老师提到“进化”这个说法,我知道有些学校教授无机生物学,研究无机物向有机物的转变,因为我们以前受的教育告诉我们,从宇宙产生开始,先有无机物,然后演变成有机物,从有氨基酸合成以后才逐渐有了微生物,才逐渐有了复杂的生物,比如从简单的节肢动物开...
评分书名不是很达意,与物种起源相比,没那么晦涩难懂。我是躺在被窝里一口气看完的,挺精彩,配着《达尔文的证据》看,感觉还不错。能够起到增长知识,开阔眼界的作用。当作《物种起源》的导读也是不错的。参考资料很全。我是把他当故事书看的。
IN EVOLUTION WE TRUST
评分废话有点多

评分不了解译本(但名字我认为就翻译得不妥),看的原著,觉得写得非常系统,语言也很好懂,不需要太高英语阅读水平。非常不错的科普读物,深入浅出,里面关于进化论的切入点与很多这类型的书籍不太一样,令人眼前一亮。看完以后让我更加觉得生命如同史诗一样壮丽。五星好评。然后就是想说,这是大众读物呀,不是学术著作。
评分好书推荐。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。
