“1977 年 10 月，时年三十大几的生态学家 Dan Janzen 给著名古生物学家 Paul Martin 写信说：‘我有个古怪的想法。’促成 Janzen 这个‘古怪想法’的，是对哥斯达黎加森林的一项寻常观察，但他越琢磨越觉得不合常理：森林地面上散落着大量未被吃掉的水果。果实的演化本就是为了被吃掉——这是植物促使动物传播种子的策略——因此如此大量腐烂的水果在演化上毫无意义。Janzen 想让 Martin 告诉他，曾经可能有什么动物

……这种统计往往偏向老书，纯粹是因为存在时间长的书更容易被提及。让我来安利一本结论非同寻常、理应更出名的书：《进化的幽灵：荒诞的果实、失落的伙伴与其他生态时代的遗存》（The Ghosts Of Evolution: Nonsensical Fruit, Missing Partners, and Other Ecological Anachronisms） https://www.amazon.com/Ghosts-Evolution-Nonsensical-Ecologic... “一股全新的视野正在席卷生态科学：那片茂密的……

……我脑子里浮现出的第一件事。几乎每次去杂货店，我都会想起鳄梨进化的巨型地懒假说：包括康妮·巴洛在她 2001 年出版的《进化的幽灵》一书在内的许多学者推测，鳄梨是一种具有巨型动物种子传播综合征（megafaunal dispersal syndrome，这一概念最早由保罗·S·马丁和丹尼尔·H·詹曾于 20 世纪 80 年代提出）的“进化遗迹/生态残存物”，认为……
…thing that came to my mind. Nearly every time I'm at the grocery I think about the giant ground sloth theory of avocado evolution: A number of authors, including Connie Barlow in her 2001 book The Ghosts of Evolution, have speculated that the avocado is an "evolutionary anachronism" with megafaunal dispersal syndrome (a concept originally proposed in the 1980s by Paul S. Martin and Daniel H. Janzen), arguing…
