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.
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...
評分看了这样的一本书,首先我必须说这是一本好书!一本讲了实话的书!但是这本书不能算是个经典,不能算是个让人耳目一新的书!与之前的几部类似的著作相比(达尔文的我就不列举了!其他的有《社会生物学》、《进化是什么》、《自达尔文以来》、《熊猫的拇指》、《奇妙的生命》等...
評分读这本书花了差10天2个月,初六看完,不知道算是多少天。很赞的书,刨除那些深层次的原因,它首先是本有趣的书,这里举几个小例子,勾勾大家的兴趣: 1.为什么我们害怕的时候会起鸡皮疙瘩?我们知道猫和狗在紧张的时候可以将浑身的毛竖起来,这是因为他们有立毛肌...
評分花一天多时间读完了科因的《为什么要相信达尔文》。 其实原书标题是“为什么进化是真实的?”,现在这个译名也许在市场营销上好一点,但也有差强人意。 至少我比较倾向于达尔文进化论不是进化论的全部,这还不仅仅指达尔文进化论需要补充大量的现代生物进化论的内容,而是生物...
評分正如作者所说,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...
