“We must have horses and dogs and cats and other animals in our lives in order for our psyches to function as they should, just as we have to have bacteria in our guts in order to digest food.”

“This is when, according to some researchers, some primate lines first evolved the three cones in the eye that allow us to see more colors than other mammals (including horses)—a change driven in part by the fact that as fruits became limited, primates needed to forage with greater focus to detect protein-rich young leaves, which are often red.”

“I’d go there again if I had the funding,” Roper told me wistfully. One of his big issues is the lack of funding for ocean research, something he feels is both unwise and unjust. “Why aren’t we spending billions studying our oceans?” he asked me. “We know more about the moon’s behind than we do about the ocean’s bottom.”
― Wendy Williams, Kraken: The Curious, Exciting, and Slightly Disturbing Science of Squid
