I believe that we have more capability than any other creature to control our biological inheritance - and we do so most of the time.

I had this wonderful, supportive mother who didn't get mad because of all the earth mucking up my bed. She just said they'd die - they needed the earth.

If we start with chimpanzees, they differ from us with the composition of the DNA by only just over one percent. So, as far as genetics go, we're almost identical. The composition of the blood, the immune system, the structure of the brain - almost identical.

Especially females and the younger ones like to be with somebody who is wise.

Chimps taught us we're not separated from the animal kingdom, we're a part of it.

The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves.

If plants could be credited with reasoning powers, we would marvel at the imaginative ways they bribe or ensnare other creatures to carry out their wishes.
