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.

大傢好!我是本書的譯者葉盛。應編輯的建議,在這裏貼齣譯後記,希望能引起更多人的興趣。有問題,歡迎一起討論,共同提高。 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 書終於譯完瞭,感慨良多,不免想要寫下來與讀者們分享。動筆之前,我決定去廚房給自己衝一杯咖啡。恰巧房...
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...

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。
