Brain Quote by Theodore Holmes Bullock
“Nature has provided two great gifts: life and then the diversity of living things, jellyfish and humans, worms and crocodiles. I don't undervalue the investigation of commonalities but can't avoid the conclusion that diversity has been relatively neglected, especially as concerns the brain.”

Nature offers two major gifts—life and biodiversity—yet scientific focus often neglects the latter, especially concerning the brain.
In simple terms: Life and biodiversity are gifts; science often overlooks diversity, especially in the brain.
