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.

評分主持人:2009年是达尔文诞辰200周年,《物种起源》发表150周年,世界各地举办了各种纪念活动,也出版了一些纪念性书籍。其中,芝加哥大学生态与演化学系教授Jerry Coyne的Why Evolution is True就是其中一本。这本书虽然赶在这个时机出版,却绝对不是应景之作,它凝结了作者多...
評分从小就被灌输了进化论的观念,所以对接受演化论没有任何障碍。只是从前只知其然,而不知其所以然。本书用大量翔实的证据来证明演化确实发生过,而且正在发生,同时驳斥神创论观点,非常有说服力。 当我的儿子学到演化论的时候,我会以本书作为他的课外读物。 对我而言,读这...

評分我一直没有找到一本适合的书来谈论进化论,《物种起源》我不敢读,其它的我不想读,直到遇到芝加哥大学生物学教授杰里•科因的《为什么要相信达尔文》。 这本书就像它的名字(直译是:为什么进化论是真的?)所宣称的那样,为达尔文做了极其出色的辩护。出色的以...
