The laws of biology are written in the language of diversity.

Only in the last moment in history has the delusion arisen that people can flourish apart from the rest of the living world.

This is the assembly of life that took a billion years to evolve. It has eaten the storms - folded them into its genes - and created the world that created us. It holds the world steady.

Science and religion are the two most powerful forces in the world. Having them at odds... is not productive.

One difference between ants and humans is that while ants send their old women off to war, humans send their young men.

Of course, there is no reconciliation between the theory of evolution by natural selection and the traditional religious view of the origin of the human mind.

Homo sapiens, the first truly free species, is about to decommission natural selection, the force that made us. Soon we must look deep within ourselves and decide what we wish to become.
