on The Tangled Tree: A Radical New History of Life
Tangled Tree is a book about how our understanding of evolution has been changing during the years since Darwin publication of the On the Origin of the Species.
Thus, I guess this book should be read as an epic voyage through time nothing less by which you can discover the different frameworks that scientist built for putting inside the very meaning of evolution.
Yes, all began with a tree, You can see that in a figure drawn by Darwin himself in one of his notebooks, The drawing is accompanied by a note that says, I think p,. But as time went by, that tree began to suffer some transformations, New suggestions, and new insights based on new discoveries, opened that tree in several branches and, why not, trunks, Darwins drawing presented just one trunk, not three as Carl Woese put it in, only without roots in the ground, There was not a singular and a unique origin, The discovery of the DNA molecule opened and possibilities and questions, Nobody was quiet or felt comfortable in the multitude of labs and seminars around the world, There, in the DNA molecule, there was something hidden, and that something to me the very swerve of the story was the discovery of the Horizontal Gene Transfer HGT.
In a sentence: HGT meant that the tree wasnt a tree, it was a hedge, There was not only vertical influence mutations and so on from parents to sons, but also horizontal influence among species, Genes are not only inherited from ancestors in fact we receive them from viruses or bacteria that move around us, And this is happening all the time, So, what are we in the end What are speciesDavid Quammen has made a superb work in this bookpages before Notes, He interviewed numerous actors of this adventure movie, Some of them are dead, so Quammen looked for disciples and friends in order to complete his own tangled tree, I dont know what is better in this narrative if the actors or the fascinating story the author tells us he could have done it without this human element.
Hard to say. Quammen is so good a narrator, one of those that go with you all the way through the end, He works for you! You almost not need to think, Well, almost. Everything in this wonderful exposition of facts, heroes, battles, failures and successes, is intended to be clearly understood, Bottom line: evolution is happening but not as in a tree, Is occurring in parallel, everywhere and all the time, Youll discover by yourself the richness and variety of life as you never saw it, This is new, this is whats happening today in molecular biology, Now Im going to read the last book by the same author, Breathless, And a final note: if youre in doubt with respect to the dissonance that Quammen could have produced within the Darwinian Brotherhood, I would say, dont worry.
He has been welcomed by them, Thats how science works. Darwin would have been happy, This book is nice to read, short chapters that are easy to comprehend, Starts from historical facts, but soon goes to present day research findings, Warmly recommend to anyone interested in biology and evolutionary sciences, De onde vem os genes do nosso genoma O que é um vírus Mitocondrias e cloroplastos são mesmo bactérias O que é transferência genética horizontal As árvores filogenéticas são mesmo árvores Existem outros organismo além de bactérias e eucariotosUm livro de alto nível sobre biologia, escrito para leigos, mas que biólogos aprenderão muito.
Trechos da história e desenvolvimento da biologia molecular aplicada à evolução e seus últimos avanços, Texto inteligente, narrativa que te prende, Se você não conhece, David Quammen é simplesmente fantástico, Esse não fica atrás de outros clássicos dele, como O canto do Dodo e Contágio, Recomendo muito. The key idea of the Darwin/Wallace concept of evolution is inherited descent with modification, Each organism has one or two parents, and takes its entire genome from those alone, But this is too simple, We knew that prokaryotes bacteria and archaea could exchange var hmenu document, getElementById"nav hamburger menu" hmenu, setAttribute"href", "javascript: void" window, navHamburgerMetricLogger function if window. ue window. ue. count var metricName "Navm:Hmenu:IconClickActionPending" window, ue. countmetricName, ue. countmetricNamewindow.

I was not disappointed with anything in this book, This book is a wonderful summation of our past to present understanding of biology and anthropology, By rewording the arcane languages of science the author has proven that complexities can be understood when clearly written, Clear exposition if the science, Irritating sidelights on characters.

And excellen, only slightly popularized, narrative of the evolution of Evolutionary trees, This book covered a lot of technical information but did so in a very engaging way through the use of stories about some of the people who worked on horizontal gene transfer.
The use of short paragraphs also made it accessible to non biology experts like myself, allowing me
