“The symposium on commemorating the 200th anniversary of Darwin＇ s Birthday and the 150th anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species” had been successfully held from the end of October to early November at Shanghai Normal University. A total of 25 papers had been discussed during the conference, which all themes could be roughly divided into “philosophical reflection to evolution theory”, “debate between serf-interest and altruism” and “the spread of evolution theory in China”. Limited to the author＇ s academic interests and expertise, this article mainly comments on the first two themes, in order to form good atmosphere of academic argument.
