Evolution

Monday 22nd of July 2024

Evolution As a result of our influence, key aspects of  animal behavior are changing, including where they live, where they breed, what they eat, whom they fight and whom they help. We are remodeling more than just the environments species live in. We’re altering the species themselves as they evolve in  response to our impact on their surroundings. … we are creating mismatches between animals and the settings in which they evolved. Creatures once well equipped to meet the challenges of their environment suddenly face a world in which their fine-tuned behavioral adaptations are no longer adaptive at all.  Lee Alan Dugatkin, Scientific American, June 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
Evolution I don't believe in evolution. I don't believe in that type of so-called science. I don't believe in evolution. I believe in God. Marjorie Taylor Greene © 2021 Kwiple.com
Evolution I personally believe that this theory that Darwin came up with was something that was encouraged by the adversary. Ben Carson referring to Satan, which is Hebrew for “adversary” © 2015 Kwiple.com
Evolution In a world of synthetic gene drives, the  border between the human and the natural, between the laboratory and the wild, already deeply blurred, all but dissolves. In such a world, not only do people determine the conditions under which evolution is taking place, people can — again, in principle — determine the outcome.  Elizabeth Kolbert, Under a White Sky  © 2024 Kwiple.com
Evolution  One of the problems of human evolution, as oppposed to, say, rocket science, is that everybody feels that their opinion has value irrespective of their prior knowledge. Henry Gee, The Accidental Species © 2017 Kwiple.com
 
Evolution  We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men evolved differently, that they are born with certain mutable characteristics, and that among these are life and the pursuit of pleasure.
