The advance of genetic engineering makes it quite conceivable that we will begin to design our own evolutionary progress.

— Isaac Asimov

We have new media, new forms of connectivity, and an enormous transference of knowledge. When you study evolution, you see that when new genes…

Genetic engineers don't make new genes, they rearrange existing ones.

— Thomas Lovejoy

Evolution works by selection, not by instruction. There is no final cause, no teleology, no purpose guiding the overall process

— Gerald Edelman

It is difficult to imagine a greater imposition than adding genes to future generations that changes the nature of future people.

Exchange of breeding individuals between two populations tends to homogenize their gene pools.

— Peter R. Grant

— Bill Nye

Individuals are not stable things, they are fleeting. Chromosomes too are shuffled into oblivion, like hands of cards soon after they are dealt. But…

— Richard Dawkins

“evolution is about reproduction, passing on copies of genes.”

— Robert M. Sapolsky

“EVOLUTION RESTS ON three steps: (a) certain biological traits are inherited by genetic means; (b) mutations and gene recombination produce variation in those traits;…
