這是本論述生命演化與生物化學領域的書籍,作者敘述演化科學的各類觀點與推論,雖說不見得全是經由實證的真理,但他捏拿得極為精準,不僅敘述內容完整且盡可能令人信服,也遵守了科學家尋找的是適用一切的 "通則" ,而非 "例外" 的原則!。這是我近年來耗費最長時間才讀完的書...

How did life invent itself? Where did DNA come from? How did consciousness develop? Powerful new research methods are providing vivid insights into the makeup of life. Comparing gene sequences, examining atomic structures of proteins, and looking into the geochemistry of rocks have helped explain evolution in more detail than ever before. Nick Lane expertly reconstructs the history of life by describing the ten greatest inventions of evolution (including DNA, photosynthesis, sex, and sight), based on their historical impact, role in organisms today, and relevance to current controversies. Who would have guessed that eyes started off as light-sensitive spots used to calibrate photosynthesis in algae? Or that DNA’s building blocks form spontaneously in hydrothermal vents? Lane gives a gripping, lucid account of nature’s ingenuity, and the result is a work of essential reading for anyone who has ever pondered or questioned the science underlying evolution’s greatest gifts to man.
