Quotes by Britt Wray (?)

“I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change…I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address those problems. I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy…and to deal with those we need a spiritual and cultural transformation. And we scientists don’t know how to do that. —GUS SPETH, environmental lawyer and scientist”

“He tells me that dealing with ancient DNA “is like taking the entire collection of Encyclopedia Britannica, ripping it up into two-letter pieces, scrambling it all up, and then having some grad student put it back together without coffee.”

“We still tend to speak of Neanderthals as though they’re somehow alien from us, even though many of our genomes show that they’re literally a part of us. To be a species is a murky thing. Many of us are mutts already, but de-extinction could multiply the spectrum of hybridity in some startling ways.”
