The river of Dawkins's title is a river of DNA, flowing through time from the beginning of life on earth to the present – and onwards. Dawkins explains that DNA must be thought of as the most sophisticated information system imaginable: 'Life is just bytes and bytes of information,' he writes. Using this perspective, he describes the mechanisms by which evolution has taken place, gradually but inexorably, over a period of three thousand million years. It is the story of how evolution happens, rather than a narrative of what has actually happened in evolution. He discusses current views on the process of human evolution, including the idea that we all trace back to a comparatively recent African 'Eve', and speculates that the 'information explosion' that was unleashed on Earth when DNA came into being has almost certainly happened in other places in the universe.
Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist renowned throughout the world. He was educated at Oxford and taught zoology before becoming the first holder of the Charles Simonyi Chair of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, in 1995. His previous books rank among the most influential intellectual works of our time., They include The Selfish Gene (1976), River Out Of Eden (1995), and Unweaving The Rainbow (1999).

XiaoBingJiu推荐。我不喜欢这本书,首先是因为作者非常拥簇达尔文进化论,进而非常信奉科学及其解释、反对其他对于人类起源和自然事实的说法(如宗教、文化相对论等),这在前三章尤其明显。作者的坚定让我隐隐感到不适,我是和他不同的人,我更愿意听到科学之外的说法,譬如「...
評分《基因之河》1.基因本身的精细内部结构都是由纯粹数字信息组成的长链条。遗传代码并非计算机所使用的二进制代码,而是由4个符号组成的四进制代码。基因的机器代码与计算机极为相似。这一数字化革命带来了意义深远的影响,而从生命的核心来看,则是对生机论最终的毁灭性打击。生...
評分 評分整本书还是很吸引人的,展示了不少生物案列,用以描述大自然的无情。个人认为第四章写的最精彩。提到的姬蜂幼虫在活体毛虫体内取食的例子,让人印象深刻。第96页描述的森林中植物为了争夺阳光长到荒谬而浪费的高度。以及福特公司的案例都具有现实的借鉴意义。在社会竞争环境下...
評分“本書標題所說的河,指的是一條DNA之河,它是在時間中流淌,而不是在空間流淌。它是一條資訊之河,而不是骨肉之河。在這條河中流淌的,是用於建造軀體的抽象指令,而不是實在的軀體本身。“摘自內文 先前在看過道金斯的成名之作『自私的基因』,深深地為其理論折服,也...
