101. The Major Transitions In Evolution (John Maynard Smith, Eors Szathmary) John Maynard Smith and Eors Szathmary look at a range of topics in evolutionary biology, from abiogenesis to the origins of societies and language. http://dannyreviews.com/h/Major_Transitions.html

Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest The Major Transitions in Evolution John Maynard Smith + Eörs Szathmáry Oxford University Press 1995 Amazon A book review by Danny Yee A survey of the "key events" in evolution by two leading theorists, The Major Transitions in Evolution ranges all the way from prebiotic chemistry through to the origins of society. As a result it is both scattered (though there are some themes that recur throughout) and shallow (though it tends to assume background knowledge and to start straight in on the most interesting topics). There is some fascinating material in Major Transitions and serious students of evolution won't want to miss it, but I would recommend more focused alternatives first, perhaps (from recent reading) Gerhart and Kirschner's Cells, Embryos, and Evolution , Carroll's Patterns and Processes in Vertebrate Evolution , or Dyson's Origins of Life The authors, good reductionists both, naturally start at the bottom and work their way up. A brief discussion of general concepts such as progress, complexity, and transition leads naturally into the question of what life is and a glance at non-living systems that approach it in some ways (the Oklo reactor and the chemoton). They then offer a potpourri of prebiotic chemistry (diversity without replication, the Miller-Urey experiment, surface metabolism, extraterrestrial organic chemistry) and mathematical models (replication accuracy and error thresholds, hypercycles and stochastic correctors). This leads to debates about the primacy of proteins and nucleic acids, and the origins of translation and the genetic code. (Smith and Szathmáry are obviously supporters of RNA-world approaches, but they give I think a fair appraisal of theories of Kauffman and Dyson based on autocatalytic protein networks.)

Who made the world Who was it who made the world sir? A bang brought creation about. Who set off the explosion, Sir? Did this bang make you deaf, Sir? It happened a long time ago. How do you know it happened , Sir? A man in a book told me so. Who was the man in the book ,Sir? A man who looked up in the sky. How do you know that he knew, Sir? Who was it made me and you , Sir? A creature crept out of the sea. Who was it made the creature, Sir? The creature just happened to be. Why did it creep from the sea, Sir? It thought it was time for a change. How did it grow arms and legs, Sir? I know, it sounds awfully strange.

Transcript from February 20, 2003 2:00-3:00 PM Eastern ISCID Moderator Our guest speaker today is biochemist James Shapiro . Dr. Shapiro is Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago. He received a B.A. in English Literature from Harvard University in 1964 and a Ph.D. in Genetics from Cambridge University in 1968. Dr. Shapiro's most recent research has been centered around the concept of "natural genetic engineering" which is highlighted in his thought provoking paper A 21st Century View of evolution ISCID Moderator Dr. Shapiro asked that I post this opening statement.
