Focusing on the evolutionary debate between Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould, this book explores how the opposing theories of natural selection and environmental adaptation have shaped modern evolutionary theory. Dawkins argues for gradual evolution, emphasizing the role of genes, while Gould argues that the environment drives changes in individuals. This debate reveals the complexity and...

Evolution is the process by which living things change gradually over long periods of time. Dawkins argues that living things have increased in complexity and adaptability, which he views as progress. Gould, on the other hand, acknowledges that some organisms have increased in complexity, but not all. The theory of evolution explains the changes in living things from different perspectives...

This book is a fictionalized debate between Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould on the theories of evolution, discussing which claim is closer to scientific truth: Dawkins’ gene-centered theory or Gould’s multifaceted theory of evolution. In The Selfish Gene, Dawkins explains evolution at the gene level, while Gould argues that evolution also occurs at the individual and population...

Read Darwin’s Table, a book by Korean professor Daeik Jang, to find out whether genes are a product of evolution or evolution is a product of genes.   After Darwin’s Origin of Species, the concept of ‘evolution’ was introduced to the birth and development of life. Darwin’s concept of evolution brilliantly explained the differentiation and development of species...

After reading the book Darwin’s Table by Korean professor Dae-Ik Jang, I wondered if the natural world is really moving in a progressive direction.   Are plants and animals in the natural world evolving in a progressive direction? Until now, I used to think that the body structure and brain have evolved in the past in a way that naturally increases in complexity over time, but reading...

I read and wrote a book review of Darwin’s Table by Korean professor Daeik Jang. It is about the natural history of rape from an evolutionary perspective.   As evolutionary theory has developed, there have been many discussions about what is subject to natural selection, and one example of this is the question of whether rape is an adaptation. This was first addressed in...

In this blog post, I’ve read Darwin’s Table, a book by Korean professor Dae-Ik Jang, and I’d like to discuss whether evolution is progress.   The theory of evolution, which was born from the roots of Darwin’s Origin of Species, has grown up under the tree, and many theories related to evolution have settled in the modern era. Many of these theories are complementary...

I read the book Darwin’s Table by Professor Dae-Ik Jang from South Korea and wrote my personal views on the theory of evolution.   Until the end of the 16th century, the theory that the Earth was the center of the universe and that all stars and planets, including the Sun, revolved around the Earth (heliocentrism) was firmly entrenched in people’s minds. Galilei’s...
