商品描述

This book, written by Motoo Kimura (1924-94), is a classic in evolutionary biology. In 1968, Kimura proposed the "neutral theory of molecular evolution", which became the theoretical basis of modern evolutionary studies. After publishing his work in 1983 in the book "Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution", Kimura wrote this book in 1988 for the general public. It was originally written in Japanese and is translated here for the first time.

In the book, Kimura first summarizes the development of evolutionary theory since Lamarck and Darwin. He then shows how the search for mechanisms of evolution developed into population genetics and describes how the study of molecular evolution matured by taking in the fruits of molecular biology. Kimura proceeds to carefully explain his neutral evolution theory at the molecular level. Finally, he presents his view of the world from an evolutionary perspective.

The book has long served as an in-depth introduction to evolutionary biology for students and young researchers in Japan. There has been remarkably rapid progress in the field of bioscience at the molecular level over the past 30 years. Nevertheless, the book remains an important contribution that laid the foundations for what followed in molecular evolutionary studies.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是由木村資生（Motoo Kimura，1924-1994）撰寫的，為進化生物學的經典之作。1968年，木村提出了「中性分子進化理論」，這成為現代進化研究的理論基礎。在1983年出版了《中性分子進化理論》一書後，木村於1988年為大眾撰寫了這本書。該書最初是用日文寫成，這裡是首次翻譯成中文。

在書中，木村首先總結了自拉馬克（Lamarck）和達爾文（Darwin）以來進化理論的發展。接著，他展示了進化機制的探索如何發展成為族群遺傳學，並描述了分子進化的研究如何通過吸收分子生物學的成果而成熟。木村接著仔細解釋了他在分子層面上的中性進化理論。最後，他從進化的角度提出了他對世界的看法。

這本書長期以來一直是日本學生和年輕研究人員深入了解進化生物學的入門書籍。在過去30年中，生物科學在分子層面上取得了顯著的快速進展。然而，這本書仍然是對分子進化研究奠定基礎的重要貢獻。

作者簡介

Motoo Kimura was born on 13 November 1924 in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. After graduating from high school in Nagoya, he entered the Faculty of Science, Kyoto University. He studied botany under the guidance of Professor Hitoshi Kihara at the Faculty of Agriculture of Kyoto University, but also taught himself population genetics theory. After graduating in 1947, he became a research assistant in Kihara's laboratory. He was appointed as a staff scientist at the National Institute of Genetics when it was established in 1949 and became Head of the newly created Division of Population Genetics in 1964. He worked there until he passed away on 13 November 1994. In 1953 he studied at Iowa State University and in 1955 at the University of Wisconsin, where he received a PhD under the guidance of Professor James. F. Crow. Motoo Kimura received many honors, including the Order of Culture from the Japanese Government in 1976 and the Darwin Medal in 1992.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Motoo Kimura於1924年11月13日出生於日本愛知縣岡崎市。高中畢業後，他進入京都大學理學院。雖然他在京都大學農學院的木原仁教授指導下學習植物學，但他也自學了族群遺傳學理論。1947年畢業後，他成為木原教授實驗室的研究助理。1949年國立遺傳學研究所成立時，他被任命為職員科學家，並於1964年成為新成立的族群遺傳學部門的負責人。他在那裡工作直到1994年11月13日去世。1953年，他在愛荷華州立大學學習，1955年在威斯康辛大學獲得詹姆斯·F·克勞教授的指導下取得博士學位。Motoo Kimura獲得了許多榮譽，包括1976年日本政府頒發的文化勳章和1992年的達爾文獎章。
