“It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble. An animal perfectly in harmony with its environment is a perfect mechanism.

Only those animals partake of intelligence that have a huge variety of needs and dangers.”
― H.G. Wells, The Time Machine
