书籍简介
尽管有大量的证据证明进化论，但为什么关于进化论的争论仍然存在？这本简明的书打破了公众对进化论的抵制完全是由于它被认为与宗教相冲突的观念，表明进化论实际上是一个难以理解的反直觉想法。科斯塔斯-坎普拉基斯（Kostas Kampourakis）是一位经验丰富的科学教育家，他采取了一种有洞察力的、跨学科的方法，以清晰的思路和深思熟虑的推理来介绍进化论。讨论的主题包括公共领域的进化、进化与宗教、理解进化的概念障碍、达尔文理论的发展、最重要的进化概念，以及进化与科学的本质。《理解进化》以清晰和远见的方式介绍了进化论，读者很快就能领会，它适用于任何想要获得一份易懂而简洁的进化论指南的人。
Why do the debates about evolution persist, despite the plentiful evidence for it? Breaking down the notion that public resistance to evolution is strictly due to its perceived conflict with religion, this concise book shows that evolution is in fact a counterintuitive idea that is difficult to understand. Kostas Kampourakis, an experienced science educator, takes an insightful, interdisciplinary approach, providing an introduction to evolutionary theory written with clarity and thoughtful reasoning. Topics discussed include evolution in the public sphere, evolution and religion, the conceptual obstacles to understanding evolution, the development of Darwin's theory, the most important evolutionary concepts, as well as evolution and the nature of science. Understanding Evolution presents evolutionary theory with a lucidity and vision that readers will quickly appreciate, and is intended for anyone wanting an accessible and concise guide to evolution.
'当其他书解释流行的对进化论的攻击--例如创造论，或智能设计--有什么问题时，这本简明的书解决了根本问题：为什么人们不能接受进化论？这就像深入到疾病的原因，而其他人只是试图降低发烧的程度。Kampourakis令人信服地指出，目的论，而不是神学，是理解进化论的最重要障碍。这不仅仅是科学与宗教的问题。这本受欢迎的书是关于对进化的广泛误解的文化和心理根源的长篇论证。它反对科学主义--声称进化论或一般的科学可以为我们的问题、忧虑和关注带来终结；同时，它认为进化论并没有剥夺我们生活的意义。意大利帕多瓦大学Alessandro Minelli，《Plant Evolutionary Developmental Biology》的作者
'While other books explain what is wrong with the popular attacks on evolution - e.g. creationism, or Intelligent Design - this concise book addresses the fundamental question: why do people fail to accept evolution? This is like going deep to the causes of the illness, while others just try to lower the fever. Kampourakis argues convincingly that teleology, rather than theology, is the most important obstacle to understanding evolution. It is not just matter of science vs. religion. This welcome book is a long argument about the cultural and psychological roots of the widespread misunderstandings of evolution. It opposes scientism - the claim that evolution, or science in general, can bring an end to our questions, worries, and concerns; and, at the same time, it argues that evolutionary theory does not deprive our life of meaning.' Alessandro Minelli, University of Padova, Italy, and author of Plant Evolutionary Developmental Biology
