Jerry A. Coyne has been a professor at the University of Chicago in the department of ecology and evolution for twenty years. He specializes in evolutionary genetics and works predominantly on the origin of new species. He is a regular contributor to The New Republic, the Times Literary Supplement, and other publications.
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.
《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,...
评分对于个研究基因组进化的小硕,要是谈起进化论(貌似书里提出用演化论更准确但是习惯了。。)都不能说出个123那可太丢人了。。桌上现在还放着本北大科学元典版本舒得干翻译的《物种起源》,之前翻开过两次,可问题是是在读不下去呐。。这本书读起来倒是非常顺畅,碰到比...
评分花一天多时间读完了科因的《为什么要相信达尔文》。 其实原书标题是“为什么进化是真实的?”,现在这个译名也许在市场营销上好一点,但也有差强人意。 至少我比较倾向于达尔文进化论不是进化论的全部,这还不仅仅指达尔文进化论需要补充大量的现代生物进化论的内容,而是生物...

评分毫无生物基础的话,后半部分不好理解
评分不了解译本(但名字我认为就翻译得不妥),看的原著,觉得写得非常系统,语言也很好懂,不需要太高英语阅读水平。非常不错的科普读物,深入浅出,里面关于进化论的切入点与很多这类型的书籍不太一样,令人眼前一亮。看完以后让我更加觉得生命如同史诗一样壮丽。五星好评。然后就是想说,这是大众读物呀,不是学术著作。
