Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 是约翰·梅纳德·史密斯(John Maynard Smith)的《Major Transitions in Evolution》吗?那是一本神作,比道金斯那些通俗化普及作品要硬核深入得多。

    Was it John Maynard Smith - The Major Transitions in Evolution? It's a great book, that goes deeper than Dawkins' vulgarizations.

  • …更深入地探讨了进化的各个重要阶段:http://www.amazon.com/Major-Transitions-Evolution-Maynard-Sm... 顺便扯一句,自从读了《The Major Transitions in Evolution》,我对神创论者的鄙夷就与日俱增。早期进化史里有一些极其令人困惑的谜团,我们根本完全无法解释。可那些神创论者整天就知道拿黑猩猩和石头哔哔赖赖。

    …into more depth on the important stages of evolution: http://www.amazon.com/Major-Transitions-Evolution-Maynard-Sm... On a tangent, my dismissiveness of creationists has only increased since reading The Major Transitions in Evolution. There are some really perplexing things in early evolution that we don't understand at all. And yet creationists like to talk about chimps and rocks.

  • …要想具有可操作性、能够给出明确的预测,就必须保持简单。当然,也有可能在社会科学领域根本就不存在什么有操作性的理论。”——梅纳德·史密斯与绍特马里,《The Major Transitions in Evolution》

    …to be operative in the sense of leading to clear predictions, must be simple. Of course, it may be that no operative theories are possible in the social sciences." - Maynard Smith and Szathmary, The Major Transitions in Evolution
