We add that it would be all too easy to object that mutations have no evolutionary effect because they are eliminated by natural selection.… — Pierre-Paul Grasse Copy Share Image
“New mutations don't create new species; they create offspring that are impaired.” — Lynn Margulis Copy Share Image
Evolution works by selection, not by instruction. There is no final cause, no teleology, no purpose guiding the overall process — Gerald Edelman Copy Share Image
“There is another kind of variation that does not involve the genome at all, and is therefore not heritable. Yet it can produce what looks like evolution. Indeed, the results look so much like evolution that for all we know some of the best examples of evolution may be due to this nonheritable kind of variation. [It] has been observed,… — Lee Spetner Copy Share
Evolution has just been dealt its death blow. After reading Origins of Life with my background in chemistry and physics, it is clear that… — Richard Smalley Copy Share Image
The central problem of biological evolution is the nature of mutation, but hitherto the occurrence of this has been wholly refractory and impossible to… — Hermann Joseph Muller Copy Share Image
Biochemists and biologists who adhere blindly to the Darwinism theory search for results that will be in agreement with their theories and consequently orient their research in a given direction, whether it be in the field of ecology, ethology, sociology, demography (dynamics of populations), genetics (so-called evolutionary genetics), or paleontology. This intrusion of theories has unfortunate results: it deprives observations… — Pierre-Paul Grasse Copy Share
From the almost total absence of fossil evidence relative to the origin of the phyla, it follows that any explanation of the mechanism in… — Pierre-Paul Grasse Copy Share Image
To insist, even with Olympian assurance, that life appeared quite by chance and evolved in this fashion, is an unfounded supposition which I believe… — Pierre-Paul Grasse Copy Share Image
We add that it would be all too easy to object that mutations have no evolutionary effect because they are eliminated by natural selection.… — Pierre-Paul Grasse Copy Share Image
The deceit is sometimes unconscious, but not always, since some people, owing to their sectarianism, purposely overlook reality and refuse to acknowledge the inadequacies… — Pierre-Paul Grasse Copy Share Image
In the fight between biology and morality, biology has commonly won in the end. — Semir Zeki Copy Share Image
We became Homo sapiens not that long ago, from the scientific perspective, and we've retained a lot of our beast nature. We've done all these amazing things in terms of our knowledge base and technology, and now we're flying around and using the internet. But we're still very animalistic. So, I think about hierarchies. I think about evolution. I think… — Wangechi Mutu Copy Share
“Toshiaki learned that all living organisms were governed by their DNA. He was impressed by perfection of this system.Why did existence have the ability… — Hideaki Sena Copy Share Image
We are somehow the children of the planet, we are somehow its finest hour; we bind time, we bind the past, we anticipate the future - we are going hyper-spatial; we are claiming a whole new dimension for biology that it never claimed before. We are actually becoming a fourth-dimensional kind of creature. Our future is somehow with us, as… — Terence McKenna Copy Share
I think the ethics and morals of genetic engineering are very complicated. It intrigues me. — Roger Spottiswoode Copy Share Image

“A note of caution: epigenetics is also on the verge of transforming into a dangerous idea. Epigenetic modifications of genes can potentially superpose historical and environmental information on cells and genomes—but this capacity is speculative, limited, idiosyncratic, and unpredictable: a parent with an experience of starvation produces children with obesity and overnourishment, while a father with the experience of tuberculosis,… — Siddhartha Mukherjee Copy Share
Natural history is not taught in seminary. This is curious, as most people in pastoral ministry are about 567 times more likely to be asked about cosmology or sub-nuclear physics or human biology or evolution than they are to be asked about irregular Greek verbs or the danger of the patripassionist heresy. If we monotheists are going to go around… — Sara Maitland Copy Share
We are coming to a place where the road ends. From here on out, we will be making the road as we walk it,… — Tom Atlee Copy Share Image
