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.
Nick Lane is a biochemist and honorary reader at University College London, where he lives. His book Power, Sex, Suicide was named an Economist Book of the Year and was shortlisted for the Aventis Science Book Prize.
虽然今年读了许多好书,但这本很可能还是最出色的一本。

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.

死亡是不朽的代价。生命最后面对的都是衰老和死亡,对DNA的研究逐步解开衰老之谜。科学家发现低自由基等于长寿,即限制热量会带来长寿。 热量限制让基因把注意力转到个体维护。如果中年开始限制热量,等于把身体重置到青年的状态。限制热量的方法是“轻断食”,即有规律的禁食...
评分 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...
评分這是本論述生命演化與生物化學領域的書籍,作者敘述演化科學的各類觀點與推論,雖說不見得全是經由實證的真理,但他捏拿得極為精準,不僅敘述內容完整且盡可能令人信服,也遵守了科學家尋找的是適用一切的 "通則" ,而非 "例外" 的原則!。這是我近年來耗費最長時間才讀完的書...
