为什么值得读
- 细致讲述视觉等复杂器官多次独立演化的历程
- 获前生物化学从业者盛赞的绝佳演化入门读物
- 是进一步阅读作者后续前沿理论著作的基石
“如果 Charles Darwin 从坟墓中跳出来，我会把这本好书送给他，让他跟上时代的步伐。”——Matt Ridley，The Red Queen 的作者

…还有几个极其精彩的章节，讲线粒体基因组与细胞核基因组的相互作用是如何影响性别和性的演化的。http://amzn.com/0199205647 2. Nick Lane 的《生命跃升：演化的十大发明》（Life Ascending: The Ten Great Inventions of Evolution）——涉及的内容截然不同，而且同样他妈的引人入胜。看到像视觉这样的东西因为…而一次又一次地演化出来，真是太神奇了…
…Also has a couple of fascinating chapters on how the interaction of the mitochondrial genome with the nuclear genome influenced development of sexes and sex. http://amzn.com/0199205647 2. Nick Lane's Life Ascending: The Ten Great Inventions of Evolution - Covers very different material and again all fucking fascinating. It's amazing to see how things like sight have evolved over and over and over because they're…
…在飞机上，旁边碰巧坐了一位资深生物学家。当我告诉他这是我读的第一本 Nick Lane 的书时，他说：“我更建议你先去读 Lane 的另一本书《生命跃升》（Life Ascending），然后再回来看《生命进化的跃升》（The Vital Question）。”PS：顺便说一句（FWIW），我之前在一个老帖子里提到过这事，当时有一位前生物化学家也跟帖证实了这个建议：https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18714115
…on a plane, a seasoned biologist happened to be sitting next to me. When I told that it's the first book of Nick Lane that I picked up, he said: "I'd rather suggest you to pick up Laine's other book, Life Ascending, and only then get back to The Vital Question." PS: FWIW, I've previously mentioned the above in an older thread, where an ex-biochemist chimed in to confirm the above advice: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18714115
…读完了，这篇文章看起来真的很像他在书里探讨的某些理论的延续。我是从 HN 上知道这本书的，之后把他写的其他每一本书都买了，现在《生命跃升》（Life Ascending）也快看完了，同样超级精彩
…finished it and this article really seems like a continuation of some of his theories he talks about. I found about the book from HN, and have since bought every single other book by him, almost done with Life Ascending now, which is also amazing
> 先去读 Lane 的另一本书《生命跃升》（Life Ascending），然后再回来看《关键问题》（The Vital Question） 作为两本书都读过的前生物化学家，这绝对是非常中肯的建议。
> pick up Laine's other book, Life Ascending, and then get back to The Vital Question As an ex-biochemist who has read both books, this is excellent advice.

感谢分享出处，我都不知道他还写过一本对此讨论更深入的书。我记得读《生命跃升》（Life Ascending）时，被里面关于海底热泉喷口的描述深深震撼到了。
Thanks for the reference, I didn't know he had a more thorough book on this. I remember reading "Life Ascending" and being amazed at the descriptions of the hydrothermal vents.
