“Evolution is central to the understanding of life, including human life. Like all living things, we are outcomes of natural selection; we got here because we inherited traits that allowed our ancestors to survive, find mates, and reproduce. This momentous fact explains our deepest strivings: why having a thankless child is sharper than a serpent's tooth, why it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife, why we do not go gentle into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light”

Mutta tuottiko se enemmän iloa ihmisille, sitä en tiennyt, sillä kaikkien katse oli levoton ja kaikilla oli kiire ja kaikki odottivat jotakin uutta tyytymättä tähän päivään.”
