The Evolution of Beauty 电子书 读后感

The Evolution of Beauty 英文版刚刚上市时,我就在不少国外科普媒体上注意到了它。当时我还算半个“自由撰稿人”(说的太好听了,实际上就是四处给别人码点儿字写科普),对自然博物类科普的话题一直很感兴趣。这本书一经出版便受到了学界与科普界的高度关注,随之而来的则是...

一 关于阅读本书的乐趣和价值 这本书的阅读是非常有趣的,无论是大道理还是小事例,都不断激发着我的脑电波。我以为很多社会风潮、流行言论、社会现象,都可以在这本书中,从非人动物那里找到相似、甚至一模一样的现象,于是接下来是欣慰还是惊醒就看个人的悟性了。这种跨物种...

什么是美?谁来定义美?美在不同的时代与社会中又是如何变化的?美存在于人类社会,亦存在于动物界,假如美有人或动物中的某一部分个体或群体主导,那么这个主导的人是谁?——这些宏大的问题必然三言两语难以尽述,因此不妨化繁为简,从相对简单一些的鸟类谈起,这也便是《美...

The Evolution of Beauty 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 图书描述

A major reimagining of how evolutionary forces work, revealing how mating preferences—what Darwin termed “the taste for the beautiful”—create the extraordinary range of ornament in the animal world.

In the great halls of science, dogma holds that Darwin’s theory of natural selection explains every branch on the tree of life: which species thrive, which wither away to extinction, and what features each evolves. But can adaptation by natural selection really account for everything we see in nature?

Yale University ornithologist Richard Prum—reviving Darwin’s own views—thinks not. Deep in tropical jungles around the world are birds with a dizzying array of appearances and mating displays: Club-winged Manakins who sing with their wings, Great Argus Pheasants who dazzle prospective mates with a four-foot-wide cone of feathers covered in golden 3D spheres, Red-capped Manakins who moonwalk. In thirty years of fieldwork, Prum has seen numerous display traits that seem disconnected from, if not outright contrary to, selection for individual survival. To explain this, he dusts off Darwin’s long-neglected theory of sexual selection in which the act of choosing a mate for purely aesthetic reasons—for the mere pleasure of it—is an independent engine of evolutionary change.

Mate choice can drive ornamental traits from the constraints of adaptive evolution, allowing them to grow ever more elaborate. It also sets the stakes for sexual conflict, in which the sexual autonomy of the female evolves in response to male sexual control. Most crucially, this framework provides important insights into the evolution of human sexuality, particularly the ways in which female preferences have changed male bodies, and even maleness itself, through evolutionary time.

The Evolution of Beauty presents a unique scientific vision for how nature’s splendor contributes to a more complete understanding of evolution and of ourselves.

听的audible上的有声书,上一秒还在讲羽毛和歌声,下一秒就讲生殖器,没有目录看就是这么精彩。这本很喜欢了,female choice在进化过程中的作用,比我们想象的大,不一定是生理性的,还有文化层面的。同性性行为的原因。这种切片很容易被当成武断,但其实我们连切片断面都不懂。
