如果有人对这个话题想做进一步阅读，或者想了解一般的演化/生命起源，我强烈推荐 Eugene Koonin 的《The Logic of Chance》。这本书将生物学各主要领域（遗传学/生物信息学、结构/物理等）、数学、物理和哲学的最新知识融会贯通，其方式是我前所未见…
If anyone is interested in further reading on this topic, or on evolution/origin of life in general, I highly recommend "The Logic of Chance" by Eugene Koonin. The book pieces together the latest knowledge from all the major fields of biology (genetics/bioinformatics, structural/physics, etc), math, physics, and philosophy in a way I've never…
去查查 Eugene Koonin 的《The Logic of Chance》。这是当代货真价实的演化研究学者写的，而不是像“你懂的那位”那样的过气老古董炒作狗。这本书更棒的地方在于，它确实花了很多篇幅讨论水平基因…
Look up the Logic of Chance by Eugene Koonin. Written by an actual evolution researcher of current times instead of legacy hacks like you-know-who. This book is even better because it actually talks a lot of about horizontal gene…
如果你对这个主题感兴趣，我建议你找一本 Eugene Koonin 的《The Logic of Chance》来看（这本书非常贵，但总有获取的方法，比如“图书馆”）。它基本上是从分子生物学和信息论的角度梳理了演化（并最终落脚于他自己关于“生命起源”的理论）。
I would encourage you to find a copy of (it's very expensive, but there are methods to acquire it, such as "libraries") Eugene Koonin's "The Logic of Chance", if this is a topic you're interested in. It basically goes through evolution from a molecular biology and information theory standpoint (and culminates in his own theory of "genesis").
…我过去 5 年左右的阅读书单：1. Richard Rhodes 的《原子弹秘史》（Making of the atomic bomb） 2. 《别闹了，费曼先生》（Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman） 3. Stephen King 的《写作这回事》（On Writing） 4. Walter Isaacson 的《乔布斯传》（Steve Jobs） 5. Eugene Koonin 的《The Logic of Chance》 6. 《GEB》（不过这本弃坑了）
…My reading list from the past 5 years or so: 1. Making of the atomic bomb by Richard Rhodes 2. Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman 3. On Writing by Stephen King 4. Steve Jobs by Walter Isaccson 5. The Logic of Chance by Eugene Koonin 6. GEB (gave up on this one though)
…蛋白质曾被发现。显然 20^40000 是一个不可思议的编码空间，但我们可以大体勾勒几笔，把这个数字大幅缩减。首先，Eugene Koonin 在《The Logic of Chance》及其它地方指出，蛋白质的演化受限于在类似细胞的水溶液环境中可形成的稳定折叠结构数量。这是一个无法量化的数字，但我们确实知道，即使是大多数细胞内…
…protein has ever been discovered. Obviously 20^40000 is an incomprehensible coding space, but we can with a few broad strokes narrow that number down immensely. For starters, Eugene Koonin argues in The Logic of Chance, and elsewhere, that the evolution of proteins is limited by the amount of stable folds available in cell-like aqueous conditions. It's an impossible number to quantify but we do know that even most cellular…
…not an economist nor that interested in them, but I did read Nassim Taleb's books* and Kahneman stuck out as one of very few economists Taleb doesn't totally trash. * I had read Eugene Koonin's "The Logic of Chance" and was then recommended Taleb's books for a more thorough perspective on probability, to apply to Koonin's work.

…不是经济学家，对他们也没那么大兴趣，但我确实读过 Nassim Taleb 的书*，Kahneman 是 Taleb 极少数没有彻底痛批的经济学家之一。* 我之前读了 Eugene Koonin 的《The Logic of Chance》，之后别人向我推荐了 Taleb 的书，以便在概率方面获得更深入的视角，来对应 Koonin 的研究。
