The 20 finest quotes about Natural Selection:
1) It wasn't torpor that kept her - she was often restless to the point of irritability. She simply liked to feel that she was prevented from leaving, that she was needed.
― Ian McEwan
2) It looks as if the offspring have eyes so that they can see well (bad, teleological, backward causation), but that's an illusion. The offspring have eyes because their parents' eyes did see well (good, ordinary, forward causation).
― Steven Pinker
3) If theft is advantageous to everyone who succeeds at it, and adultery is a good strategy, at least for males, for increasing presence in the gene pool, why do we feel they are wrong? Shouldn't the only morality that evolution produces be the kind Bill Clinton had - being sorry you got caught?
― Robert J. Sawyer
4) We have stopped natural selection from purifying the species because deep in our heart of hearts, we are all terrified that we won't make the cut.
― Moxie Mezcal
5) One general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die.
― Charles Darwin
6) Nevertheless so profound is our ignorance, and so high our presumption, that we marvel when we hear of the extinction of an organic being; and as we do not see the cause, we invoke cataclysms to desolate the world, or invent laws on the duration of the forms of life!
― Charles Darwin
7) Natural selection involves no plan, no goal, and no direction — just genes increasing and decreasing in frequency depending on whether individuals with those genes have, relative to other individuals, greater or lesser reproductive success.
― Randolph M. Nesse
8) The facts of variability, of the struggle for existence, of adaptation to conditions, were notorious enough; but none of us had suspected that the road to the heart of the species problem lay through them, until Darwin and Wallace dispelled the darkness.
― Thomas Henry Huxley
9) It is difficult to believe in the dreadful but quiet war lurking just below the serene facade of nature.
― Charles Darwin
10) [E]very major religion today is a winner in the Darwinian struggle waged among cultures, and none ever flourished by tolerating its rivals.
― Edward O. Wilson
11) Nature's stern discipline enjoins mutual help at least as often as warfare. The fittest may also be the gentlest.
― Theodosius Dobzhansky
12) It is not always the magnitude of the differences observed between species that must determine specific distinctions, but the constant preservation of those differences in reproduction.
― Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
13) And yet, strange to say, now that the truth [of natural selection] is recognized by most cultivated people..now more than ever, in the history of the world, are they doing all they can to further the survival of the unfittest.
― Herbert Spencer
14) In microbiology the roles of mutation and selection in evolution are coming to be better understood through the use of bacterial cultures of mutant strains.
― Edward Tatum
