Resumo de The Scaling Of The Improbable Mount

This very current book deals with the concept of the evolution of the species discovered and defended first and mainly for Charles Darwin. For general consensus Richard Dawkins is the most influential scientist of the evolution contemporary. Not only this, if has distinguished for its effectiveness in the transmission for the lay public from ideas central offices from the basic theory and its defense. Its safe and sensible voice in way the waves of criacionista irracionalismo that the times had threatened the darwianismo, if makes to hear at the moments most difficult, facing many of the times a ensandecida mob that does not admit nor the the least to hear to speak of the evolution of the species. The theory of the evolution of Charles Darwin constitutes a landmark of the modern thought on the position of the man in the universe. When offering a rational explanation for the presence in the Land of bees and elephants, earthworms and jaguatiricas, roseiras and jacarandás, when binding organisms livings creature the beings whose remaining portions are preserved in had been of fósseis, Darwin gave a gigantic step in direction to the understanding of the phenomena of the life, affirming that the species of plants and animals had been changedded with the ticket of the time. The man is only one animal, certainly differentiated for intelligence, but still thus it is an animal, that arrived its current form when evolving of ancestral more primitive. Since early this conception of the human being it offended the religious mentality. Darwin represented a mortal threat to this sort of perspective, and therefore hardly she was fought. In recent years, the constatação of that the condition human being cannot be understood only by means of the knowledge of the nature, has led to a disillusion with science and this to a reaction renewed against the theory of the evolution. One of the main arguments used by these true aggressors of the theory of the evolution if supports in the religious fundamentalismo is of that the evolution would be demasiadamente improbable to be true and that could happen. In this book, the Scaling of the Improbable Mount, the author shows the fallacy of this argument and, in the process, it offers a fascinating picture of the evolutivo process in diverse animal species - including some servant in computer.
