Why evolution is more than just a theory: it is a fact
In all the current highly publicized debates about creationism and its descendant "intelligent design," there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned-the evidence , the empirical truth of evolution by natural selection. Even Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould, while extolling the beauty of evolution and examining case studies, have not focused on the evidence itself. Yet the proof is vast, varied, and magnificent, drawn from many different fields of science. Scientists are observing species splitting into two and are finding more and more fossils capturing change in the past-dinosaurs that have sprouted feathers, fish that have grown limbs.
Why Evolution Is True weaves together the many threads of modern work in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that demonstrate the "indelible stamp" of the processes first proposed by Darwin. In crisp, lucid prose accessible to a wide audience, Why Evolution Is True dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms that this amazing process of change has been firmly established as a scientific truth.
正如作者所说,这是一部有趣的书,阅读之后简直就是醍醐灌顶如坐春风。这是一部写给演化论反对者的书,更是一部为盲目相信演化论的那些支持者所书写的书,而在演化论几乎罕见敌手的中国,这部书的出版和翻译更是弥足珍贵。 作者首先理清了演化的概念,从化石、基因、生...
評分《为什么要相信达尔文》一书的首版是2009年,2009年对于达尔文和他创造的演化科学是不同寻常的一年,2月12日是他诞辰200周年纪念日,11月24日是其巨著《物种起源》出版150周年纪念日。芝加哥大学生态与演化生物学系终身教授 杰里•科因,本书的作者,在同年1月出版了这本书,...
評分《啊哈啊哈灵机一动》有一节说,从前有个叫帕斯卡的人(没错就是压强的那个帕斯卡)提出了一个问题,如果一个人对信不信教完全没有idea,觉得圣经可能是对的也可能是错的,那他应该怎么办呢? 一、 他选择不信教,那么 if 圣经是错的,他什么也没得到, else 他会在大审判后下...
評分 評分最近在读这本书+有摩门教会的朋友拉我入教= = 简直就是悲剧。。在这种背景下,虽然是学生物的,还是觉得作者一些激进吧。看完再评价。。
不瞭解譯本(但名字我認為就翻譯得不妥),看的原著,覺得寫得非常係統,語言也很好懂,不需要太高英語閱讀水平。非常不錯的科普讀物,深入淺齣,裏麵關於進化論的切入點與很多這類型的書籍不太一樣,令人眼前一亮。看完以後讓我更加覺得生命如同史詩一樣壯麗。五星好評。然後就是想說,這是大眾讀物呀,不是學術著作。
评分廢話有點多
