Almost Like A Whale: The Origin Of Species Updated + Yapışkanlı Not Kağıdı

In his new book, Steve Jones takes on the challenge of going back to the book of the millennium, Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species.; Before The Origin, biology was a set of unconnected facts.; Darwin made it into a science, linked by the theory of evolution, the grammar of the living world.; It reveals ties between cancer and the genetics of fish, between brewing and inherited disease, between the sex lives of crocodiles and the politics of Brazil.; Darwin used the biology of the nineteenth century to prove his case.; Now, that science has been revolutionized and his case can be reargued using the twentieth century's astonishing advances.; From AIDS to dinosaurs, from conservation to cloned sheep, bursting with anecdotes, jokes and irresistible facts, Almost Like a Whale is a popular account of the science that makes biology make sense.; It will catch the millennial mood and tell all those for whom Darwin is merely a familiar name what he really meant.; It exposes the Darwinian delusions which try (and fail) to explain human behaviour in evolutionary terms, and, while giving an up-to-date account of our own past, shows how humans are the first species to step beyond the constraints of biology.; Daha fazla göster
