卡尔·齐默:每周大概都会有某项与进化有关的研究让我惊奇不已。这是科学作家卡尔·齐默,他是《纷繁的河岸:进化概论》的作者。齐默说, 进化论令他痴迷,因为它解释了从35亿年前到今天,世间各种生命是如何产生并演变的。齐默:无论是新型的流感病毒还是我们人类本身的演变(都吸引着我)。齐默说,科学家们仍然在研究进化运作的神秘方式。例如,他描述了一种不常见的癌症,此种癌症会在濒临灭绝的有袋类哺乳动物袋獾(别名“塔斯马尼亚恶魔”)间传播,疾病初期表现为脸部肿瘤。
Karl Zimmer: I am amazed at the fact that there is probably a study related to evolution every week. This is the scientific writer Carl Zimmer. He is the author of “The Rampant Bank: An Introduction to Evolution.” Zimmer said that the theory of evolution made him obsessed with it, because it explained how various life in the world had evolved and evolved from 3.5 billion years ago to today. Zimmer: Whether it is a new type of influenza virus or the evolution of our own human beings (all of them are attractive to me). Zimmer said that scientists are still studying the mystery of how evolution works. For example, he described an uncommon cancer that spreads between endangered marsupial mammals (alias “Tasmanian devil”), which manifests itself as a facial tumor at the beginning of the disease. .
