![“Professor Eddington has recently remarked that 'The law that entropy always increases - the second law of thermodynamics - holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of nature'. It is not a little instructive that so similar a law [the fundamental theorem of natural selection] should hold…” quote by Ronald Fisher](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ba5/ronald-fisher-14852_biological-science_professor-eddington-has-recently-remarke_3010389.jpg)
