“In 1975, the respected British medical journal Lancet reported on a study which compared the effect on cancer patients of (1) a single chemotherapy, (2) multiple chemotherapy, and (3) no treatment at all. No treatment 'proved a significantly better policy for patients' survival and for quality of remaining life.'” QualityStudyEffectsPolicySurvivalPatientCancerBritishMedicalTreatmentMultipleJournalChemotherapyCancer Patients Author:Barry Lynes

“Why do some die and some live? The answer was clearly, that on the whole the best fitted live. From the effects of disease the most healthy escaped; from enemies, the strongest, swiftest, or the most cunning; from famine, the best hunters or those with the best digestion; and so on. Then it suddenly flashed upon me that this self-acting process would necessarily improve the race, because in every generation the inferior would inevitably be killed off and the superior would remain-that is, the fittest would survive.” SelfWholeScienceDiesProcessAnswersActingRaceEnemyGenerationsEffectsEvolutionHealthyDiseaseSurvivalSuperiorsStrongestInferiorsHuntersCunningFamineDigestion Author:Alfred Russel Wallace
“Human use of fossil fuels is altering the chemistry of the atmosphere; oceans are polluted and depleted of fish; 80 per cent of Earth's forests are heavily impacted or gone yet their destruction continues. An estimated 50,000 species are driven to extinction each year. We dump millions of tonnes of chemicals, most untested for their biological effects, and many highly toxic, into air, water and soil. We have created an ecological holocaust. Our very health and survival are at stake, yet we act as if we have plenty of time to respond.” IfsYearsHumansUseEarthWaterMillionsGoneAirEffectsOceanSurvivalDestructionSpeciesClimate ChangeFishesDrivenForestsPlentyAtmosphereSoilFuelChemistryChemicalsStakesToxicHolocaustCentsFossilsExtinctionFossil FuelEcologicalDump Author:David Suzuki

“The [peppered-moth] experiments show the effects of predation on the survival of the dark and of the normal forms of the Peppered Moth in a clean environment and in one polluted by smoke. The experiments beautifully demonstrate natural selection--or survival of the fittest--in action, but they do not show evolution in progress, for however the population may alter in their content of light, intermediate or dark forms, all the moths remain from beginning to end Biston Betularia.” MayEndsShowsLightActionFormNaturalDarkEnvironmentProgressEffectsEvolutionNormalSurvivalCleanPopulationExperimentsSmokeSelectionNatural SelectionMothsSurvival Of The Fittest Author:L.
