آقای دنیل دنت میاد نظریه تکامل یا فرگشت داروین رو اثبات می کنه و بسط میده و همچنین به پیامد هاش در جایگاه های مختلف میپردازه مثل فرهنگ ، مهندسی ، هنر و خیلی چیزهای دیگه . در کل قصد نویسنده از نوشتن کتاب، دادن نگاه تکاملی به مخاطب در هر چیزی هست. این دیدگاه کمک میکنه به پشت پرده و تاریخچه خیلی چیزا پی ببریم و اون دید که یه معجزه رخ داده که یک چیزخاص اتفاق افتاده خارج شیم
تلاش نویسنده بر اینکه بگه تکامل عوارض جانبی ناشی از تغییرات هست . و برای فهم بهتر خواننده از موضوع مثال های زیادی میزنه .
مثلا به تغییرات زبان می پردازه که اول یک مبدا و ریشه ی مشترک داشتن ولی با هر ذره تغییر جزیی و در بازه زمانی طولانی باعث تشکیل زبان های جدید زیادی شده.
در کل کتاب جالبی بود و دید آدم رو به بسیاری از چیزهای اطرافمون باز می کنه.

Is something sacred? Yes, say I with Nietzsche. I could not pray to it, but I can stand in affirmation of its magnificence. This world is sacred.

The truly dangerous aspect of Darwin's idea is its seductiveness.

My journey in evolution began with Richard Dawkins and Jared Diamond And I really liked the natural selection as an idea. Before reading this book i was thinking that evolution theory is like one of the most known tale in the world's folklore : "The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing"
A tale of the initially enemy mistaken for a friend, because i can never imagine that the Tree of Life created itself. i can never imagine a wonderful wedding of chance and necessity, happening in a trillion places at once, at a trillion different levels. And what miracle caused it? None. It just happened to happen, in the fullness of time.

The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing here will give you an explanation but it will take from you the
meaning. The Meaning of life is the hardest question ever asked, and Darwin can't give you a meaning of life except the willing of life by natural selection.
I think the problem is not behind the Evolution Theory the problem is behind our quest for meaning. From that point The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing can become the Beast in the tale of "Beauty and the Beast". Does Darwin's idea turn out to be, in the end, just what we need in our attempt to preserve and explain the values we cherish?

Maybe the Beast is, in fact, a friend of Beauty

I will add this book to my list of "Perpetually reading":

1-Thus Spoke Zarathustra
2-Until the End of Time
3-Darwin's Dangerous Idea

I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE, THIS IS NOT JUST "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" THIS IS A DANGEROUS BOOK.

This book is purely about Darwin's theory of natural selection. IT'S NOT A BIOLOGY TEXT. It's not really about biology at all, but the larger, widely-applicable algorithmic process that happened to push forth original life. It covers a massive span of topics, most rather philosophical, including reactions to Darwinian thought (from Neo-Darwinist scientists, and others), issues in reductionism, possibility, 'evolutions' of meaning, 'evolutions' of morality, and a lot more. It's pretty unbelievable how far these ideas go, and this book expands beyond any one sphere of academia. Please, don't get all cocky on me. Even the Evolutionary Biologists need to read this one.
