内容简介:
Life's Solution builds a persuasive case for the predictability
of evolutionary outcomes. The case rests on a remarkable
compilation of examples of convergent evolution, in which two or
more lineages have independently evolved similar structures and
functions. The examples range from the aerodynamics of hovering
moths and hummingbirds to the use of silk by spiders and some
insects to capture prey. Going against the grain of Darwinian
orthodoxy, this book is a must read for anyone grappling with the
meaning of evolution and our place in the Universe. Simon Conway
Morris is the Ad Hominen Professor in the Earth Science Department
at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St. John's College
and the Royal Society. His research focuses on the study of
constraints on evolution, and the historical processes that lead to
the emergence of complexity, especially with respect to the
construction of the major animal body parts in the Cambrian
explosion. Previous books include The Crucible of Creation (Getty
Center for Education in the Arts, 1999) and co-author of Solnhofen
(Cambridge, 1990). Hb ISBN (2003) 0-521-82704-3
