Evolution is no linear family tree, but change in the single multidimensional being that has grown to cover the entire surface of Earth.

Life on earth is more like a verb. It repairs, maintains, re-creates, and outdoes itself.

Life learned early on to recognize itself.

All living beings, not just animals, but plants and microorganisms, perceive. To survive, an organic being must perceive - it must seek, or at least recognize, food and avoid environmental danger.

Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn't create.
