无论是人类还是外星人，真正必读的唯一一本书就是——查尔斯·达尔文 1859 年的《物种起源》（On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection）。理查德·道金斯 1974 年的《自私的基因》（The Selfish Gene）也是个很好的补充，但只要吃透了《物种起源》，你就真正掌握了所需的底层逻辑。
The only book anyone, human or alien, really needs to read is - "On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection" by Charles Darwin, 1859. "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins, 1974 is a good appendum there as well but once mastering "Origin" one really has the basics one needs.
科学家们创造出了有史以来最美妙、最实用的造物。想想《自然哲学的数学原理》（Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica）、《物种起源》（On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection）、《化学键的本质》（The Nature of the Chemical Bond）以及《量子力学原理》（The Principles of Quantum Mechanics）。可惜的是，大多数人又蠢又懒，根本没法欣赏它们。想象一下弗朗西斯·克里克，在他写完……后放下笔的那一幕。
Scientists have created the most beautiful and useful artifacts ever made. Think "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica", "On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection", "The Nature of the Chemical Bond", and "The Principles of Quantum Mechanics". Unfortunately, most people are too dumb and lazy to appreciate them. Picture Francis Crick, putting down his pen after…
……同时发表他们的论文，好让两人都能因独立发现进化论而获得认可。刚发表那会儿，两人都名声大噪。但达尔文在 1859 年出版了《物种起源》（On the origin of species by means of natural selection）之后，他就成了公认的进化论发现者。大多数人反而把华莱士忘得一干二净了。”
…their papers at the same time, so that both men would get credit for having independently discovered evolution. In the immediate aftermath, they both became famous. But after Darwin published his book On the origin of species by means of natural selection in 1859, he became known as the man who discovered evolution. Most people forgot about Wallace."
达尔文这部作品的完整书名是《论依据自然选择即在生存斗争中保存优良族的物种起源》（On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life）。所以，正如另一位评论者所言，进化暗示着某些种族比其他种族“更受优待”，也就是更优等。抛开现代语境下的负面……
The full title of Darwin's work is "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". So, as the other commentator says, evolution implies some races are "more favored" than others, i.e. superior. Outside the modern negative…
提交这篇文章，是为了纪念达尔文的《论依据自然选择即在生存斗争中保存优良族的物种起源》出版 150 周年。http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species 这篇文章很好地总结了达尔文所谓“伴随修饰的世系”（descent with modification）的证据……
Article submitted in honor of today's 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species It's a good summary of evidence for "descent with modification," as Darwin called…
> 你可以强迫所有图书馆购买新版 不好意思，你说啥？我所在的西澳大利亚当地图书馆就藏有一本达尔文《论依据自然选择即在生存斗争中保存优良族的物种起源》的第二版（1860 年，印了 3000 册）。据我所知，根本没人施压非得去收购第一版、第三版、第四版、第五版或第六版，或者那无数个……
> you can force all libraries to buy the new edition I'm sorry, what now? My local library here in Western Australia has a second edition of Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1860, 3000 copies). There's been no pressure that I'm aware of to acquire the first, third, fourth, fifth or sixth editions or the numerous…
