The year of 2009 will bring an avalanche of books, lectures, television programs and articles on Charles Darwin. (II-1)
It is 200 years since he was born and 150 years since he was pushed to publish his On the Origin of Species earlier than he intended by the arrival of a letter from Alfred Russel Wallace, the naturalist who, independently, had the same theory of natural selection that Darwin had supposed all his own.
Since Darwin wasn’t alone in thinking up the theory of natural selection or in assembling evidence in support of evolution, are we right to make such a song and dance of his anniversary? The short answer is "yes" . (II-2)
On the Origin of Species is the most important biology book yet written and Darwin has done as much as anyone, including Copernicus, Newton, Marx and Freud, to change how we see ourselves.
Why does Darwinian worldview matters more than ever? Above all, Darwin decenters humanity. In this he completes the work that Copernicus and Galileo began. We are not the centre of the universe. The universe existed long before we came on the scene. (II-3)
This decentering does not, of course, mean that we matter any the less.
Rather, it helps us to appreciate that we do not sit in a distinct category from the rest of creation. The great apes that are heading towards extinction in the wildness and are still used in some countries for medical research really are our relatives. [br] (Ⅱ-3)
选项
答案
Certainly,the fact that we are not the centre of the universe doesn’t mean we are not as important as any other species.
解析
原句句子大意:这种“非中心论”并不意味着我们人类要比其他任何物种更不重要。此处原句“decentering”指代的是上文提到的“we are not the center of the universe”,因此解释时应将其具体化。we matter any the less可替换成:we are not as important as any other species.
