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.

瑞达里奥推荐的关于进化的书 很有趣,看推理的部分很能锻炼思维。 除此之外还有两个很想说的, 一是生命只是基因的载体,为了让自己更多地复制,基因在复制过程中逐渐增添功能,从单一的可以复制的化学分子到多细胞到生物,这种感觉就像是为了卖电视,不断增加它的附加功能,只...
评分《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...
评分达尔文在一种动物的帮助下放弃了信仰。他写道:“我实在无法说服自己,慈悲为怀、神通广大的神会有计划地创造出姬蜂,并令其蓄意在活生生的毛虫体内进食。”实际上,达尔文逐渐丧失宗教信仰有着更为复杂的原因。他也因为担心会惹恼虔诚信教的妻子艾玛,而不愿提及有关信仰的话...
评分在我们的行星上,最简单的自发DNA复制系统是细菌细胞,而为了制造所需的组分, 它们至少要有数百个基因。非细菌的细胞称为真核细胞。我们自己的细胞,以及所有的 动物、植物、真菌和原生动物的细胞,都是真核细胞。它们通常有数万个乃至数十万个 基因,所有的基因都成组地发挥...
