“Only theory can turn a heap of facts into a tower of knowledge”
Andreas Wagner, Arrival of the Fittest: Solving Evolution's Greatest Puzzle

“The power of natural selection is beyond dispute, but this power has limits. Natural selection can preserve innovations, but it cannot create them. And calling the change that creates them random is just another way of admitting our ignorance about it.”
Andreas Wagner, Arrival of the Fittest: Solving Evolution's Greatest Puzzle

“change requires destruction, whether or not you value the destroyed.”
Andreas Wagner, Paradoxical Life
