How did life invent itself? Where did DNA come from? How did consciousness develop? Powerful new research methods are providing vivid insights into the makeup of life. Comparing gene sequences, examining atomic structures of proteins, and looking into the geochemistry of rocks have helped explain evolution in more detail than ever before. Nick Lane expertly reconstructs the history of life by describing the ten greatest inventions of evolution (including DNA, photosynthesis, sex, and sight), based on their historical impact, role in organisms today, and relevance to current controversies. Who would have guessed that eyes started off as light-sensitive spots used to calibrate photosynthesis in algae? Or that DNA’s building blocks form spontaneously in hydrothermal vents? Lane gives a gripping, lucid account of nature’s ingenuity, and the result is a work of essential reading for anyone who has ever pondered or questioned the science underlying evolution’s greatest gifts to man.

读后感
（写在最初的最初：作者本人是个演化学家，从书的标题也可以看出，整本书是从演化的角度来阐述问题的，所以这些书中还没有实锤的一些理论是否一定是最合理的解释是很难确认的，因为作者一定会从演化理论的角度去找一个最make sense的理论出来，我们在看的过程中，除了被科普的...
评分 评分本书介绍的是，生命发展过程中10大关键性进展，当然因为真实的过程目前没有技术能力完全重现，所以免不了有推理和猜测的成分，但是比某些历史学家好一些的是，本书会提取出自己有推测和偏好的地方，让读者有个正确的认识。 生命的诞生和演化是耗费的海量时间、物质和能量的过程...
评分首先要说，我没能把中文版看完，当时是看到ent居然翻译了本书....出于对他平常写的文章的好感马上买来看了，可是翻译的并不好，所以转回英文版，这才享受到极致体验。 作者是英国人，我们九零年前后生的人可能都比较习惯美式英语，这是一个读原文的障碍。作者使用的英语可以说...
评分毫无疑问这是本好书，从生命起源到意识问题，每一章都是生命形成和演化过程中最为关键的一个成就。虽然是科普书籍，作者却写得很生动，一点不枯燥，甚至不乏幽默。 个人觉得最好的章节还是事实证据等相对清晰的部分，比如生命起源，叶绿体，热血，肌肉等，作者不但给出了许多的...

Fascinating book. One of the best on evolution
评分跋的最后一段，读来仿佛读到物种起源结尾时的感受，摘录于此：It is a most wonderful thing to share so much with the life around us on this blue-green marble,floating through the bleak infinity of space.There is more than grandeur in this view of life.There is fallibility and majesty,and the best human eagerness to know.
评分Astonishing. 生命的珍贵和伟大
评分还行，有点啰嗦
评分好。
