呼應【108課綱】自然科學領域核心素養具體內涵,探究生命的演化與延續
我為什麼是我?從科學的角度帶你認識自己
孩子絕不可錯過的第一本演化遺傳學繪本
在變幻萬千的非凡世界中,體驗與生命息息相關的知識
★一本專為孩子撰寫、關於演化和遺傳最淺顯易懂的知識繪本。
★從基因的量與質、直向與橫向的全面解說,幫助家長與孩子輕鬆理解基因是怎麼一回事。
★由林大利(特有生物研究保育中心助理研究員)撰寫專文導讀,引領家長與孩子邁入基因的大千世界。
多樣的食材在廚師的食譜中,交織料理出一道道美味的佳餚;如果你的基因序列是一本無懈可擊的精美食譜書,裡頭會有些什麼?一點點會唱歌、一點點會動腦,也許還有一點點會爬樹?
所有生物,包括水果和人,都有內建的食譜,稱之為「基因」。基因主宰我們的髮色、我們的腿(還有脖子)有多長……以及決定你會長出一雙腳或是一根樹幹。基因會做很多、很多的工作,並指揮身體各個部位如何運作和發育。
但是,你知道嗎?在「你」這本精采絕倫的食譜書中,大約有四分之一和製造香蕉的食譜相同。沒錯!在你的基因中,大約有25%和這種軟軟的水果擁有相同的基因。除此之外,你的基因食譜還和果蠅雷同,牠可以代替你上太空出任務,藉此幫助人類了解太空旅行對人體的影響。
是不是感到超級不可思議!甚至懷疑是哪裡出了差錯或惡作劇?不、不、不!這些美麗的構成,讓地球上的物種有了某些相似卻又不一樣的基因,才能打造出如此獨一無二的你。猜猜看,爸爸和媽媽在這本專屬於你的食譜書裡,還加入了什麼呢?
在探索你與地球每一種生物之間的關係時,千萬別忘了!
每一個人之所以成為「你」,都是如此獨特的存在!
「我為什麼長這個樣子?」你和孩子的小小腦袋中,是否曾迸出這樣的疑問?
這是一本專為孩子撰寫的基因演化書,從一個與人類演化八竿子打不著的水果「香蕉」切入,將艱澀的基因用孩子熟悉的「食譜」來做解說,看似淺白的文字,但卻能在最簡單的用字中,說明「基因」最基本的概念,讓生命的演化不再是深奧的學理知識,
再透過有趣的插圖和百分比的量化,即使是第一次接觸「演化遺傳學」,都能輕鬆獲得相關的基礎認知。
書中使用「食譜」來做說明,並不是沒來由的胡亂比擬。「recipe」這個英文單字,最讓人熟悉的翻譯是指「做菜的食譜」,但其實在演化遺傳學中,「recipe」是專有名詞,指的是「整套DNA所涵蓋的內容」,在學術文章中也經常會使用「食譜」這樣的比喻來解說「演化」。而除了翻譯成「食譜」,也有人會使用藍圖或說明書等來打比方,食譜書中的異同,就像是每一個物種的基因排序,有些類似,有些卻完全不同;而說明書中的步驟,則像是物種間基因變化組合的不同堆疊,正因為有了這些不一樣的構成,地球上才會有這麼多、這麼豐富的物種。
在這本富含驚奇又有趣的遺傳學首選繪本中,除了藉此探索基因的組成,了解背後的科學成因,更期盼透過這本書與你分享:雖然人類和黑猩猩有99%的基因相似,但你大可以放一百二十個心,不管如何,你依舊是唯一的你,也是這世上絕無僅有的你!
