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.
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...
評分达尔文学说认为:所有生命都是烟花的产物,而自然选择是演化这一过程的主要推动力 现代演化论的核心不难掌握,它可以被总结诶成为一个单据(虽然有点儿长):一个生活在35亿多年的原始物种可能是一个能够自我复制的分子逐步演化出了地球上的所有物种,其规模随着时间而不断扩大,发散...
評分一年前的书评,贴过来。 《为什么要相信达尔文》(叶盛译,科学出版社,2009年。原书名为Why Evolution is True,直译是“为什么演化论是真的”)是美国著名演化生物学家杰里·科因(Jerry A. Coyne)的近著,该书从生命科学的各个领域收集最新的研究成果,雄辩地证明了达尔文...
評分提问 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...
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...

评分IN EVOLUTION WE TRUST
评分好書推薦。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。
评分毫無生物基礎的話,後半部分不好理解
