【29個主題，層層遞進，帶你發掘演化的線索】
你知道生物「演化」是怎麼一回事嗎？其實直到大約250年前，「演化」這個詞才出現在生物學中。從前的人並不知道為什麼這個世界上有如此豐富多樣的生物，以及生物為什麼能適應各自的生存環境。但是人們試圖解釋這些現象，於是神的角色登場了。許多文化中，都有關於創造世界的神話故事。
一八五八年，達爾文提出了「自然選擇說」，這個科學假說無需神的存在也能夠解釋生物的適應現象。他以深入的生態觀察，建構出清晰的邏輯論述，啟發了人們對生物的理解。
往後的兩百多年來，科學家們持續發現新事實，提出了新的演化觀點，當然也伴隨著質疑和挑戰。依循邏輯和證據，將能更接近生命科學的真相──「演化論」也在演化當中。
書本舉出多種生物為例，用科學觀點說明生物「為何」、「如何」發展出這些奇特生態，並闡述演化論的歷史以及未來的發展。一起踏上演化論的探險之旅吧！
【精采主題搶先看】
●為什麼有不工作的螞蟻？●
讓我們用人類中愛乾淨的人和不那麼愛乾淨的人來說明。
假設有一群人在同一個房間內生活，而他們對乾淨的容忍「程度」各不相同。隨著時間的經過，房間將變得愈來愈亂。這時候，誰會開始打掃呢？沒錯，愛乾淨的人。愛乾淨的人無法忍受房間的凌亂，所以一旦房間稍微有些凌亂，他們就會開始打掃。
好了，現在房間乾淨了，大家又繼續在房間裡生活，然後房間再次變得凌亂。這時候誰會來打掃呢？沒錯，還是愛乾淨的人。
這時的重點在於，如果愛乾淨的人累到無法打掃，使房間變得更凌亂時，那麼「沒那麼愛乾淨的人會開始打掃了」，因為他們也無法忍受超過一定程度的凌亂。
螞蟻的情況與此類似。不工作的螞蟻並不是在偷懶，而是在工作刺激超過一定程度時才會開始工作。
●拉馬克的「用進廢退說」●
科學史上，科學家們提出了各式各樣的假說，並經過許多人的驗證，只有不會產生矛盾的假說才能存續下來。拉馬克提出了有一致性邏輯，且可驗證的「用進廢退說」，取代了先前「生物由神創造，且永不發生變化」這個無法以科學方法檢驗的假說。我們不應忘記拉馬克對科學的貢獻。
此外，我們也不能忘記他打破了「生物不會演化」的觀念。他將生物的演化納入科學研究的範疇，這件事在科學史上的意義重大。
●怎樣比較有利？性之謎●
性別對人類來說是一個根本的特徵。如果沒有性別，或許世界上就會少了許多戀愛糾紛之類的煩惱。
從生物學的角度來看，性的本質簡單來說是「繁殖後代時，將其他個體之部分基因融入自身基因中的行為」。
能夠產下孩子的是雌性。如果第一子代中有一半是雄性，那麼第二子代的個體數也會減半。但如果是無性生殖的話，所有的子代都可以產出下一代，所以不會有這個問題。這表示，出現性別後，適存度就會突然降低一半，這被稱做「有性生殖的兩倍成本」。

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know.
PRO:
* Very likable characters
* Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well
* The spelling and grammar are good
* The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens.
CON:
* Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack
* Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done
* Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order
THINGS TO KNOW:
* More steamy scenes than storytelling
* A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons.
A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good.
B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy.
Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”??
Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer.
Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s
Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward.
Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud
Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

Wow.
Format: Kindle
Okay I’m usually not one for stand-alone’s I’m an avid series reader but my goodness am I so happy I read this! This story was brilliant & so absolutely mesmerizing. I loved reading about each character and their struggles as well as what helped them to move forward. The ending definitely brought tears to my eyes so hard. I truly wasn’t expecting some of what happened in this story. There is about to be a spoiler I am going to reveal so please stop reading if you don’t want the spoiler !!!! ⚠️ ⛔️ ‼️
I loved that the author didn’t do what most authors do with irredeemable male characters. I truly was hoping that Nate Jr. would be apart of the pack after the way he treated Astrea bc he truly didn’t deserve it. Though I must say you did a wonderful job or redeeming him as a person. I cried my eyes out when he walked into the story. I was truly terrified he was going to be a bad guy to the end. However you truly did him such a justice by having him realize his faults & having him redeem himself in the most wonderful way. I’m so sad that he didn’t get to hear how much his brother loved him & forgave him before dying. But again you wrote that ending so beautifully & I just can’t express how much I loved this story & how you took a different route than most authors I have read have. You are a remarkable author Cinder Blaze & I thank you generously for creating such a masterpiece.

Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
I was pleasantly surprised by this omega verse book. This 1 definitely had a few new twists And I really enjoyed reading it. The main female character was a badass and awesome. She had 1 best friend I wish we could have seen a little bit more of their friendship in this book. Her relationship with the male characters was good not to contrived or super instantaneous. And we had some fun plot twists that I didn't expect. I wish we had more of a follow up on the situation with her family her background and her mother who was a wench. I would definitely recommend this book.
