“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.

It's part of the way I tell the truth--and telling the truth is what's kept me going all these years.”

They depend upon the continued healthy functioning of the natural systems of the Earth.”
