在查找始祖鸟的资料过程中,看了不少资料,俺有个感觉,看到不少严谨、翔实的文章,在做结论时,很多时候都是用“suggesting、indicating、probably、could be”等等不是非常肯定的词。那究竟是哪个环节出问题?始祖鸟被marketing成如此著名的missing link?宏进化被marketing成这样“不可置疑”的真理?
看看找一下科学教怎样Marketing and Defense Archaeopteryx?
原文在此:National Center for Science Education--affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, is regarded as the United States' leading anti-creationist organization,从俺看到的资料,NCSE确实也是科学教marketing的急先锋
此文是针对creationist Jonathan Wells的指责写的,与往常一样,阿Q完全忽略Wells的观点。阅读这种高度政治化、没有论据只有论点、逻辑混乱的文章实在是浪费时间 :blowzy::blowzy:,耐着性子部分摘录如下:
The term "missing link" is an outdated term that does not accurately reflect the way biologists and paleontologists think about fossils. We prefer not to talk about "missing links" or "intermediate forms," but rather intermediate features. Archaeopteryx has features intermediate between those of living birds and ancient reptiles; along with many other fossils, it preserves ancestral features while it shows descendant novelties
-- 哪位能够帮忙科普一下,该如何理解这段话?看了这么多资料,俺没有在任何一篇学术论文上看过类此观点:"missing link" is outdated, scientists are looking for "intermediate features"; 其次,"intermediate features" 跟证明宏进化是否真的发生有啥关系?哪一些学术论文在谈到"intermediate features"可以证明宏进化理论?
