All scientists agree that evolution has occurred-that all life comes from a common ancestry, that there has been extinction, and that new taxa, new… — Lynn Margulis Copy Share Image
I was taught over and over again that the accumulation of random mutations led to evolutionary change - led to new species. I believed… — Lynn Margulis Copy Share Image
Evolution is no linear family tree, but change in the single multidimensional being that has grown to cover the entire surface of Earth. — Lynn Margulis Copy Share Image
We are unconscious of most of our body's processes, thank goodness, because we'd screw it up if we weren't. The human body is so… — Lynn Margulis Copy Share Image

Why does everybody agree that atmospheric oxygen comes from life, but no one speaks about the other gases coming from life? — Lynn Margulis Copy Share Image
The fewer species there are and the fewer species we know about, the fewer questions we even know to ask. — Lynn Margulis Copy Share Image
