“The more eastern regions of Asia were populated by Homo erectus, ‘Upright Man’, who survived there for close to 2 million years, making it the most durable human species ever. This record is unlikely to be broken even by our own species. It is doubtful whether Homo sapiens will still be around a thousand years from now, so 2 million years is really out of our league.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

“every human alive today is directly descended from a man who lived in Africa sixty thousand years ago.”
― A.G. Riddle, The Atlantis Gene

“intelligence is the ability of a living creature to perform pointless or unnatural acts.”
― Arkady Strugatsky, Roadside Picnic

“Think about it logically: we came here on a spaceship that employs concepts in physics your race hasn’t even discovered. You putt around this tiny planet in painted aluminum cans that burn the liquefied remains of ancient reptiles. Do you honestly think you could beat us in a fight?”
― A.G. Riddle, The Atlantis Plague
