In 2008, a Gallup poll showed that 44 percent of Americans believed God had created man in his present form within the last 10,000 years. In a Pew Forum poll in the same year, 42 percent believed that all life on earth has existed in its present form since the beginning of time. In 1859 Charles Darwin's masterpiece, On the Origin of Species , shook society to its core. Darwin was only too aware of the storm his theory of evolution would provoke. But he surely would have raised an incredulous eyebrow at the controversy still raging a century and a half later. Evolution is accepted as scientific fact by all reputable scientists and indeed theologians, yet millions of people continue to question its veracity. Now the author of the iconic work The God Delusion takes them to task. The Greatest Show on Earth is a stunning counterattack on advocates of "Intelligent Design," explaining the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist "argument." Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence: from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from natural clocks that mark the vast epochs wherein evolution ran its course to the intricacies of developing embryos; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics. Combining these elements and many more, he makes the airtight case that "we find ourselves perched on one tiny twig in the midst of a blossoming and flourishing tree of life and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random selection." The Greatest Show on Earth comes at a critical time: systematic opposition to the fact of evolution is menacing as never before. In American schools, and in schools around the world, insidious attempts are made to undermine the status of science in the classroom. Dawkins wields a devastating argument against this ignorance, but his unjaded passion for the natural world turns what might have been a negative argument into a positive offering to the reader: nothing less than a master's vision of life, in all its splendor.

作为一项历史事实的进化——评道金斯《地球上最伟大的表演》 辉格 2013年5月5日 作为现代进化理论和新达尔文主义最著名的通俗阐释者和辩护者,道金斯多年来致力于向公众解释进化论;和他过去出版的多部通俗作品一样,这仍是一本为进化论辩护的书,不同的是,之前的作品更像是...

对于读过道金斯书的人来说,这本的新东西不多,基本是之前论据的重新排列和之前观点的重新展示,读或不读,影响不大。说起来这本书也确实不是道金斯为他的粉丝(或说演化论者)写的。至于为谁而写,开头部分已经说的很清楚了,是那占英国和美国人口40%、让道金斯耿耿于怀的神创...  

评分

趣谈生命起源,自然选择和时机突变,活化石的考古,风趣幽默 。需要补充阅读《自私的基因》-《自私的基因》充满想象力。任何生物,包括我们自己,都只是求生的机器。这本书是实实在在的认知科学,复制、变异和淘汰简单的三种机制可以演变出所有大千世界生命现象里的林林总总。...

Dawkins 确实是一位学识深厚的科学家,书中提供了极丰富的案例,实验和分析,读起来非常有趣。而让我有些意外的是他对编程也不是门外汉,在第二章中提到的几个进化模拟程序 biomorphs,conchomorphs 和arthromorphs都是很有意思的东西,网上能搜到互动版本动手玩,我自己也impl...

Dawkins 的东西质量还是有保证。看过了他的God Delusion,觉得讲得很透,逻辑严密。结果再看这本还是有收获。

比《blind watchmaker》浅显,但是加入了新的科学发现。看来道金斯的读者群正在向低学历延伸啊。
