Krátky popis
The origins of life, species, and man continue to interest
scientists and stir debate among the general public more than one
hundred and fifty years after Charles Darwin published On the
Origin of Species. The Evolution Myth approaches the subject with
two intertwined objectives. Jiří A. Mejsnar first sets out to
convey the advances made in cosmology, molecular biology, genetics,
and other sciences that have enabled us to change our views on our
origins and our relationship with the universe. Scientific advances
now allow us to calculate, for example, the age of the universe,
the period in which biblical Eve lived, and, with good
justification, to reconsider the possibility that the Neanderthals
and primates might be our ancestors. The author’s second objective
is to use biology to explain why evolution cannot have taken place
in the way that is most commonly assumed. Mejsnar builds his case
around gene stability and on the sophisticated modern techniques
for gene manipulation, the complexity of which make these modified
genes inaccessible to nature. Development of life on Earth is a
discontinuous, saltatory progression that results in stages
following from preceding latent periods in which new forms suddenly
appear and possess new types of genome. This, the author argues, is
difficult to reconcile with the hypothesis of continuous biological
evolution based on the natural selection of random variations.
Taking a new approach to a much-debated subject, Mejsnar distills
complex information into a readable style. The result is a book
that as sure to get readers talking.
