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是那种胆大有见地的科学家，不光自己研究做得好，各派观点融会贯通。干货多，包袱抖得勤，哲学艺术功底深，文笔也好。十分推荐一读。
评分“How did such a thing come to be?”
评分还行，有点啰嗦
评分Astonishing. 生命的珍贵和伟大
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.
