Miao Desui Talks About Darwin
Literature苗德岁讲达尔文
(us) Miao Desui
Just as Copernicus greatly expanded our concept of space, Darwin greatly expanded our concept of time; Copernicus made us realize the position of the earth in the universe, and Darwin made us realize the position of human beings in nature... The theory of biological evolution proposed by Darwin more than 160 years ago has long become the cornerstone of modern life sciences. And his works are still worth reading and pondering over and over again today. This book is a compilation of articles by the famous paleontologist Miao Desui commenting on Darwin and his works. These short essays are fresh and pleasant, both hard-core and popular, both rational and literary. They present readers with a vast and vibrant Darwin's world from Darwin's theoretical thoughts, life anecdotes, and later influence.
