中文简介:
进化中的一些主要转变(例如多细胞生物的起源或社会动物的起源)多次发生,而其他(遗传密码或语言的起源)似乎是独特的事件。但是,必须对“lsquo; unique’”这个词保持谨慎。由于缺乏‘ true’所有灭绝和现存生物的系统发育,人们只能给它一个可操作的定义。如果具有特定转变所产生的特征的所有现存和化石物种在该转变之后共享最后共同的祖先,则认为该转变是独特的。显然,很可能已经存在独立的“试验”,但我们没有比较或化石证据。
课程简介: Some major transitions in evolution (such as the origin of multicellular organisms or that of social animals) occurred a number of times, whereas others (the origin of the genetic code, or language) seem to have been unique events. One must be cautious with the word ‘unique’, however. Due to a lack of the ‘true’ phylogeny of all extinct and extant organisms, one can give it only an operational definition. If all the extant and fossil species, which possess traits arising from a particular transition, share a last common ancestor after that transition, then the transition is said to be unique. Obviously, it is quite possible that there had been independent “trials”, as it were, but we do not have comparative or fossil evidence for them.
