Evolutionary theory has never had a stronger scientific foundation than it does today. In a short review I hope to portray the deep commitment of today's biologists to Darwinian natural selection and to discoveries made since Darwin's time. In spite of the scientific advances in the century and a half since the publication of On the Origin of Species, Darwin still remains the principal author of modern evolutionary theory. He is one of the greatest contributors of all time to our understanding of nature.
进化理论从未像现在这样拥有如此坚实的科学基础。在这篇简短的综述中,我希望描绘出当今生物学家对达尔文自然选择学说以及自达尔文时代以来所取得的发现的坚定信念。尽管自《物种起源》出版后的一个半世纪里科学取得了诸多进展,但达尔文仍然是现代进化理论的主要奠基人。他是有史以来对我们理解自然贡献最大的人之一。
