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).
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.
也是讲述生物进化的一本书,很多观点其实在《自私的基因》中都有提到,个人觉得此书语言过于唠叨,估计是翻译的不好,比不上《自私的基因》。 不过书中有几个例子记忆深刻,如眼睛的进化,蜜蜂的舞蹈行为的进化。。。比较有意思
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...
评分这本书写的蛮简单,隐约之间,道金斯把大自然,宇宙,宗教和智创论等问题,都等同于基因问题,其实这样分析也没什么不好,我们考虑的许多的“道”的问题,也许就是基因问题。 1. 大自然既非仁慈,也非不仁慈。它既不反对遭受痛苦,也不赞同遭受痛苦,除非影响到DNA的生存,否...
