Quotes by Jonathan B. Losos (?)

“It turns out that Darwin and a century of biologists following him were wrong in one key respect: evolution does not always plod along at a snail's pace. When natural selection is strong—as occurs when conditions change—evolution can rip along at light speed.”
― Jonathan B. Losos, Improbable Destinies: Fate, Chance, and the Future of Evolution

“Cats seemed to revel in behaving in risky ways: crossing roads, climbing underneath cars and onto roofs, entering storm drains and crawl spaces, and eating and drinking whatever they came upon. Encounters with other cats occurred regularly, sometimes leading to fights, and occasionally cats entered other homes.”
― Jonathan B. Losos, The Cat's Meow: How Cats Evolved from the Savanna to Your Sofa

“This is where the debate between contingency and determinism becomes personal. If we can predict not only when rapid evolution will occur, but what form it will take, we will be able to derive general principles and thus be better positioned to respond effectively. But if each case of rapid evolution is contingent on the specific circumstances, then we'll have to start from scratch each time we face a new weed, pest, or disease, figuring out how our evolutionary foe is adapting and what we can do about it.”
