一部关于演化发育生物学的入门读物，展示了动物的各种形态是如何演化并形成的，记录了 Evo Devo 这一科学分支如何证明从手臂、腿部到翅膀、鳍等所有的动物器官与附肢，皆源于少数原始基因的塑造。

……该理论。然后经常去看看这本书的网站[1]以获取最新动态。其他值得一读的是生物学家肖恩·卡罗尔（Sean Carroll，别跟物理学家肖恩·卡罗尔搞混了）的书，比如《Endless Forms Most Beautiful》[2]。[1] http://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/ [2] http://www.amazon.com/Endless-Forms-Most-Beautiful-Science/d...
…the theory. Then read the book's website[1] frequently for the latest news. Other good things to read are the books by biologist Sean Carroll (not to be confused with physicist Sean Carroll) such as Endless Forms Most Beautiful.[2] [1] http://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/ [2] http://www.amazon.com/Endless-Forms-Most-Beautiful-Science/d...
……可能是专注于顺式调控元件（cis-regulatory elements，调控邻近基因表达的非编码序列）演化研究的最知名的学者之一。我认为他 2005 年出的书《Endless Forms Most Beautiful》算是一本不错的入门读物。如果想看点没那么科普、更专业的内容，据我所知戴维森和彼得（2015）的《Genomic Control Process》口碑也相当不错。不过两本都稍微有点年代了……
…is probably one of the better known researchers focusing on the evolution of cis-regulatory elements, non-coding sequences which regulate the expression of nearby genes. I would consider his 2005 book Endless Forms Most Beautiful to be a reasonable introduction. For something more less pop-sci I understand Davidson and Peter's (2015) Genomic Control Process has been fairly well received, as well. Though both are on the older side…
我们目前对发育过程所了解的一切都非常迷人，这些都被收录在肖恩·B·卡罗尔（Sean B. Carroll）2005 年的这本《Endless Forms Most Beautiful》中了。
The story of what we know so far about the development process is fascinating and captured in this book "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" by Sean B. Carroll (2005)
……对演化生物学几十年来公认观点的松散、个性化转述。如果你想要扎实可靠、不带 Rogan 或 Weinstein 那种神棍吹水味的来源，可以从这里开始：肖恩·B·卡罗尔——《Endless Forms Most Beautiful》：关于演化发育生物学（evo-devo）、基因调控网络，以及为什么形态结构高度受限且具可复用性的经典入门书。格哈特与柯施纳——《The Theory of Facilitated Variation》：明确探讨了……
…loose, personalized retelling of ideas that have been standard in evolutionary biology for decades. If you want solid, non-Rogan, non-Weinstein sources, here are places to start: Sean B. Carroll -- Endless Forms Most Beautiful: Classic introduction to evo-devo, gene regulatory networks, and why morphology is highly constrained and reusable. Gerhart & Kirschner -- The Theory of Facilitated Variation: Explicitly addresses how…

这确实令人印象深刻。然而，在你嚷嚷着“AGI 将至”之前，先问自己一个简单的问题：这会向内收敛还是向外发散（spiral in or spiral out）？如果我们把模型生成的所有东西都再作为训练数据喂回去，我们会得到“无尽之形最美丽”（Endless Forms Most Beautiful），还是会得到一个平衡死局？
This is impressive. Yet, before you go the AGI is nigh, ask yourself a simple question: will this spiral in or spiral out? If we feed everything the model comes up with back as training data, will we get Endless Forms Most Beautiful or will we get an equilibrium?
