◆《23對染色體》、《天性與教養》、《世界，沒你想的那麼糟！》暢銷科普作家　馬特．瑞德利　最新著作 演化的觀念不只發生在生物學中，它能解釋人類世界與自然世界種種變化， 影響力無遠弗屆，超乎你的想像！ 人們在解釋自然和人類世界的種種現象時，總是忍不住陷入一個迷思，他們會假設世界的森羅萬象都是人甚或神的施設造作：宇宙和生命是神創造出來的；語言、道德、宗教、法律是聖人創業垂統的結果；人天生是一張白紙，後天環境決定人格的形成；而科技甚至網路的出現，則都要歸功於某些科學家。他們甚至相信，政府的干預可以改善教育、經濟和貨幣問題。 但是暢銷科普作家馬特．瑞德利引用科學、經濟、歷史、政治和哲學的證據，以其趣味盎然的生花妙筆告訴我們：不管是自然現象或人類文明，其實都是自然的、突現的現象。它們是演化的結果，是漸進的、按部就班的，有自己的動能，並非一夕之間創造出來的。而大部分的人類世界則都是人類行為互動的結果，不是有目的的設計和干預。 這就是瑞德利所謂的「廣義演化論」。他認為，達爾文的天擇理論可以說是狹義的演化論，但廣義演化論則適用於社會、貨幣、科技、語言、法律、文化、教育和道德等等領域，讓我們得以破除迷思，建構起真正科學的世界觀。 【專文推薦】 楊倍昌／國立成功大學醫學院微生物暨免疫學研究所教授、台灣科技與社會學會理事長　　 【各界好評】 「一種極有智慧且打破偶像崇拜的世界觀，督促我們用新的觀點來看待生命。」 ——《紐約時報書評》（New...
