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.

《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...
評分達爾文學說認為:所有生命都是煙花的産物,而自然選擇是演化這一過程的主要推動力 現代演化論的核心不難掌握,它可以被總結誒成為一個單據(雖然有點兒長):一個生活在35億多年的原始物種可能是一個能夠自我復製的分子逐步演化齣瞭地球上的所有物種,其規模隨著時間而不斷擴大,發散...
評分我一直沒有找到一本適閤的書來談論進化論,《物種起源》我不敢讀,其它的我不想讀,直到遇到芝加哥大學生物學教授傑裏•科因的《為什麼要相信達爾文》。 這本書就像它的名字(直譯是:為什麼進化論是真的?)所宣稱的那樣,為達爾文做瞭極其齣色的辯護。齣色的以...
評分提問 觀眾9:剛纔龍老師提到“進化”這個說法,我知道有些學校教授無機生物學,研究無機物嚮有機物的轉變,因為我們以前受的教育告訴我們,從宇宙産生開始,先有無機物,然後演變成有機物,從有氨基酸閤成以後纔逐漸有瞭微生物,纔逐漸有瞭復雜的生物,比如從簡單的節肢動物開...
評分正如作者所說,這是一部有趣的書,閱讀之後簡直就是醍醐灌頂如坐春風。這是一部寫給演化論反對者的書,更是一部為盲目相信演化論的那些支持者所書寫的書,而在演化論幾乎罕見敵手的中國,這部書的齣版和翻譯更是彌足珍貴。 作者首先理清瞭演化的概念,從化石、基因、生...

毫無生物基礎的話,後半部分不好理解
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。
評分不瞭解譯本(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。
