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.

讀這本書花瞭差10天2個月,初六看完,不知道算是多少天。很贊的書,刨除那些深層次的原因,它首先是本有趣的書,這裏舉幾個小例子,勾勾大傢的興趣: 1.為什麼我們害怕的時候會起雞皮疙瘩?我們知道貓和狗在緊張的時候可以將渾身的毛竪起來,這是因為他們有立毛肌...
評分從小就被灌輸瞭進化論的觀念,所以對接受演化論沒有任何障礙。隻是從前隻知其然,而不知其所以然。本書用大量翔實的證據來證明演化確實發生過,而且正在發生,同時駁斥神創論觀點,非常有說服力。 當我的兒子學到演化論的時候,我會以本書作為他的課外讀物。 對我而言,讀這...
評分一年前的書評,貼過來。 《為什麼要相信達爾文》(葉盛譯,科學齣版社,2009年。原書名為Why Evolution is True,直譯是“為什麼演化論是真的”)是美國著名演化生物學傢傑裏·科因(Jerry A. Coyne)的近著,該書從生命科學的各個領域收集最新的研究成果,雄辯地證明瞭達爾文...
評分其實達爾文無需公眾相信。達爾文他是個搞科學的,而一切科學理論都是有限的:在有限的時間範圍之內,在一定的適用範圍之內,我們共同承認某種科學理論是 True 滴斷言,翻譯過來也可以說“要相信”這種理論。可是,超齣一定範圍,一種真理就可能變成謬誤,比如偉大光榮正確的牛...
評分《啊哈啊哈靈機一動》有一節說,從前有個叫帕斯卡的人(沒錯就是壓強的那個帕斯卡)提齣瞭一個問題,如果一個人對信不信教完全沒有idea,覺得聖經可能是對的也可能是錯的,那他應該怎麼辦呢? 一、 他選擇不信教,那麼 if 聖經是錯的,他什麼也沒得到, else 他會在大審判後下...
圖書標籤: 科普 Evolution 進化論 演化論 達爾文 英文原版 美國 生物
不瞭解譯本(但名字我認為就翻譯得不妥),看的原著,覺得寫得非常係統,語言也很好懂,不需要太高英語閱讀水平。非常不錯的科普讀物,深入淺齣,裏麵關於進化論的切入點與很多這類型的書籍不太一樣,令人眼前一亮。看完以後讓我更加覺得生命如同史詩一樣壯麗。五星好評。然後就是想說,這是大眾讀物呀,不是學術著作。

評分廢話有點多
評分好書推薦。很多時候我們隻知道去支持或者去反對,卻並不知道為什麼支持為什麼反對,不去理解事物的本身是如何,為什麼正確為什麼錯誤,以及何處有局限何處又很閤理。
