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.
从小就被灌输了进化论的观念,所以对接受演化论没有任何障碍。只是从前只知其然,而不知其所以然。本书用大量翔实的证据来证明演化确实发生过,而且正在发生,同时驳斥神创论观点,非常有说服力。 当我的儿子学到演化论的时候,我会以本书作为他的课外读物。 对我而言,读这...
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...
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...
評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...
好書推薦。很多時候我們隻知道去支持或者去反對,卻並不知道為什麼支持為什麼反對,不去理解事物的本身是如何,為什麼正確為什麼錯誤,以及何處有局限何處又很閤理。
评分不瞭解譯本(但名字我認為就翻譯得不妥),看的原著,覺得寫得非常係統,語言也很好懂,不需要太高英語閱讀水平。非常不錯的科普讀物,深入淺齣,裏麵關於進化論的切入點與很多這類型的書籍不太一樣,令人眼前一亮。看完以後讓我更加覺得生命如同史詩一樣壯麗。五星好評。然後就是想說,這是大眾讀物呀,不是學術著作。
评分毫無生物基礎的話,後半部分不好理解
