图书描述

This new edition of the widely read Evolution in Four Dimensions has been revised to reflect the spate of new discoveries in biology since the book was first published in 2005, offering corrections, an updated bibliography, and a substantial new chapter. Eva Jablonka and Marion Lamb’s pioneering argument proposes that there is more to heredity than genes. They describe four “dimensions” in heredity—four inheritance systems that play a role in evolution: genetic, epigenetic (or non-DNA cellular transmission of traits), behavioral, and symbolic (transmission through language and other forms of symbolic communication). These systems, they argue, can all provide variations on which natural selection can act.

Jablonka and Lamb present a richer, more complex view of evolution than that offered by the gene-based Modern Synthesis, arguing that induced and acquired changes also play a role. Their lucid and accessible text is accompanied by artist-physician Anna Zeligowski’s lively drawings, which humorously and effectively illustrate the authors’ points. Each chapter ends with a dialogue in which the authors refine their arguments against the vigorous skepticism of the fictional “I.M.” (for Ipcha Mistabra—Aramaic for “the opposite conjecture”). The extensive new chapter, presented engagingly as a dialogue with I.M., updates the information on each of the four dimensions—with special attention to the epigenetic, where there has been an explosion of new research.

我讨厌进化相关的东西，一是它极难研究，尤其是对于重视实证的人来说，二是它的传播和受众很混乱，网上不乏各种号称自己根据科学的进化论来指导普罗大众的人生，尽管这些人没有受过科班训练，甚至从未读过权威论文，反正也看不懂多少。在进化的领域，第一忌讳是迷信，对某一种理论或某几条原则痴迷，否定其它一切可能性。比如这本书提出作者提出了她认为更为可信有效的理论和原则，批评了基因决定论和中心论，也批评了自私的基因和模因的概念，这些都是值得阅读的内容，但不意味着本书是世间唯一的真理，读者要做的是理解分析所读到的信息，并与过去学习的知识对比更新。我个人认同此书的很多讨论，尤其是在复杂系统和网络科学再度兴起的当下，要说瑕疵，专业方面给不了，但五百多页的确有点难读，相比我读过的其它几本书，细节多太多了。总之值得一读。
