Darwin's Ghost: The Origin of Species Updated Tapa blanda - 2001
de Steve Jones
As Darwin's "ghostwriter", Jones has updated the 19th-century masterpiece with contemporary examples drawn from our ever-expanding scientific knowledge--using evidence and anecdotes of which Darwin could not even have conceived--to restate evolution's case for the 21st century.
Información de la editorial
Primera línea
Man has a strange relationship with his domestic animals.
Descripción de la solapa
Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species is probably the best-known, least-read book. One of the most important achievements of the past millennium, it did for biology what Galileo did for astronomy: made it into a single science rather than a collection of unrelated facts. Important though Origin remains, its examples and intricate Victorian prose are now a century and a half old. They are ripe for renewal and reaffirmation. Writing as "Darwin's ghost," eminent geneticist Steve Jones updates this seminal work--and restates evolution's case for the 21st century.
Jones is a writer of engaging wit and dazzling erudition and has been called "the British Carl Sagan." Using modern examples--the AIDS virus, the puzzles of sexual selection, the physiology and psychology of pets, and the unparalleled genetic success of our own species--he shows the power and immediacy of Darwin's great argument and makes us appreciate how it makes life make sense. Eye-opening and entertaining, filled with astonishing facts, amusing anecdotes, and the very latest research, Darwin's Ghost is contemporary science writing at its very best.
