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.

雖然今年讀瞭許多好書,但這本很可能還是最齣色的一本。

跋的最後一段,讀來仿佛讀到物種起源結尾時的感受,摘錄於此: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.

Nick Lane是那種膽大有見地的科學傢,不光自己研究做得好,各派觀點融會貫通。乾貨多,包袱抖得勤,哲學藝術功底深,文筆也好。十分推薦一讀。
