de 法蘭西斯．達爾文, Francis Darwin ...

Traducido por 秦浚哲 ...

達爾文如何信仰起演化論？何時起相信物種是會演變？如何猜想出物種演進的方式？又是何時開始相信自然選擇學說？《達爾文傳》將為讀者一一解答這些問題「在博物學上，就算你稱不上所有世紀的最偉大的革命者，至少你是本世紀的最偉大的革命者。」──H.C.沃森給達爾文的信我作為一個致力於科學的人，不管取得了多少成功，我認為都是依靠我的科學情結以及多種精神稟賦與客觀條件取得的。其中最重要的，是我對科學的熱愛，是我深思各種問題的無限耐心，是我觀察與蒐集現象的勤奮，外加我不錯的創新精神與常識感。我所擁有的能力不過如此，卻能在某些方面對科學家的觀念影響到如此深遠的程度，這實在令人吃驚。──〈達爾文自傳〉　　達爾文是英國生物學家，1831年開始，他踏上小獵犬號所進行的旅程，是他一生中最重要的事件，為他後續寫下《物種起源》立下深刻基礎，更深深影響了他的科學生涯。經過長時間的研究與思索，他於185... ...
