…Bill Martin, who was a rival to Woese, which is fine, but the result is a story in which Martin made all the major discoveries and Woese literally gets one sentence. I'd strongly recommend Quammen's "The Tangled Tree" instead, which is a more balanced book.
……有人认为，与我们大脑容量快速进化相关的突变，部分原因可能要归结为几百万年前的人畜共患病毒感染。edit：也许你会喜欢 David Quammen 写的《The Tangled Tree》。
…people think that mutations related to our rapid evolutionary increase in brain size may have been in part down to zoonotic virus exposure a couple million years ago. edit: Maybe you would enjoy The Tangled Tree by David Quammen.
……“物种”（无论如何这对细菌来说更难定义），但人们越来越广泛地认识到，基因水平转移在所有生物中都在大量发生。关于这个主题最近有一本畅销书，是 David Quammen 写的《The Tangled Tree: A Radical New History of Life》。
…"species" (trickier to define for bacteria in any case), but it is becoming more widely recognized that lateral gene exchange happens a lot in all organisms. A recent popular book on the subject is "The Tangled Tree: A Radical New History of Life" by David Quammen.
一篇引人入胜的文章。David Quammen 的书《The Tangled Tree: A Radical History of Life》也讲述了 DNA 是如何通过突变之外的更多机制发生改变的。
A fascinating article. David Quammen's book "The Tangled Tree: A Radical History of Life" also has stories how DNA changes through more mechanisms than just mutation.
If you enjoyed this article but your biology background is from the 1990's or early 2000's, you might check out The Tangled Tree (2018) by Quammen https://bookshop.org/books/the-tangled-tree-a-radical-new-hi... It traces how we got to some of these new ideas from pre-Darwin, through Lynn Margulis, to present day nanopore sequencers…
……Bill Martin，他是 Woese 的竞争对手，这倒没什么，但结果整本书写得好像所有重大发现全都是 Martin 做出的，而 Woese 居然真就只被带过了一句话。我强烈推荐改读 Quammen 的《The Tangled Tree》，那本书客观均衡得多。

这本书必须 +1！我几周前刚读完。如果你喜欢那本，不妨考虑一下 David Quammen 写的《The Tangled Tree》。
+1 for the book! Just finished it a couple of weeks ago. And if you liked that, consider The Tangled Tree by David Quammen.

如果你喜欢这篇文章，但你的生物学背景还停留在 1990 年代或 2000 年代初，那你可以看看 Quammen 写的《The Tangled Tree》（2018）https://bookshop.org/books/the-tangled-tree-a-radical-new-hi... 它梳理了我们是如何从达尔文之前，经历 Lynn Margulis，一步步走到如今纳米孔测序仪这些新想法的……
