摘要

Stephen jay gould was no lightweight, physically or intellectually. This vast book, the last one he published before he died in May, unveils his distinctive vision of evolutionary biology―as it should be, as it is, and as it has been. Gould's strategy is to identify a Darwinian essence, the logical core of Darwin's own doctrine, and chart its history. Gould takes that essence to be a three-part thesis about natural selection. The first is about the agency of natural selection. Natural selection almost always acts on individual organisms. In a population of competing individuals, organisms better suited to their circumstances are more likely to survive and reproduce, thus passing their superior characters to their offspring. Since fitter organisms produce more offspring, over time the nature of a population changes. For Darwin, selection almost never acts on groups or species, and harmonious relations in nature are just the side-effect of individual struggle.
