Quotes About Evolutionary

The destruction of the natural world is not the result of global capitalism, industrialisation, 'Western civilisation' or any flaw in human institutions. It is a consequence of the evolutionary success of an exceptionally rapacious primate. Throughout all of history and prehistory, human advance has coincided with ecological devastation.

Species diversity can be thought of as an insurance policy against today's environmental change and tomorrow's new evolutionary challenges.

Some theists in evolutionary science acquiesce to these tacit rules and retain a personal faith while accepting a thoroughly naturalistic picture of physical reality.

In short, controlling more resources means you are likely to have more progeny surviving to future generations: Team aggression is one way that both chimpanzees and humans have hit upon to reap that evolutionary reward.

Innovation is an evolutionary process, so it's not necessary to be radical all the time.

En ese contexto, a los jóvenes ultras como como yo hasta los comunistas nos parecían reformistas y por eso les decíamos 'rabanitos', rojos por fuera y blancos por dentro.

Dogs laugh, but they laugh with their tails. What puts man in a higher state of evolution is that he has got his laugh on the right end.

Man is flawed; universe is imperfect; the functioning of the cosmos is defective! Everything seems to be severely punished by the imperfection! May be the real challenge of men is to correct all these flaws! It is possible to think that God is an evolutionary perfectionist! He creates things as unimportant and faulty; then let them all alone and fateless to evolve to perfection!

the rationale for the existence of literature lies precisely in its ability to work on issues that concern us deeply. And it does so in a way that keeps our motivation at its highest intensity. Literature is fuel for 'hot cognition.' One may presume that imaginative literature is a property that all human cultures possess and as such may provide humans with an evolutionary advantage.

If nutritionists can't easily determine how one dietary factor affects human health, evolutionary biologists can't tell what affected the survival of long dead animals.

The evidence that much of what divides us is rooted in our biology was compiled by the evolutionary anthropologist (and Peruvian political adviser) Avi Tuschman, in his transdisciplinary work Our Political Nature, in which he identifies three primary and relatively permanent personality traits running throughout political beliefs: tribalism, tolerance for inequality, and one's view of human nature.

The evolutionary, gene transformation of the chimera of thinking, due to the gene of ingenuity and egoism, expands, as it were, the universe of dissociation. Anthropomorphic worldview of multiculturalism and hydras of science and pop culture that raise mestizos of globalism of various mentalities.

The genitals inhibit the evolutionary development of the brain, since the trends of modern culture develop at the expense of the genitals, inflation, selfishness, infantilism, etc. The world will heal profundity.

The roads of the city are the nervous system of impulses of the point, and to the point b or the circulatory system. Which is increasingly experiencing the paralysis of egoism in evolutionary thinking.

Have you thought about the evolutionary psychology of it? Men have evolved to be strong worker homestead-keepers, while women—with babies to protect from harm—have had to become aggressive and violent.

Have you thought about the evolutionary psychology of it? Men have evolved to be strong worker homestead-keepers, while women—with babies to protect from harm—have had to become aggressive and violent. The few partial patriarchies that have ever existed in human society have been very peaceful places.

The fundamental reason is that we each carry within us an evolutionary blueprint for making a good society.

Without programmed cell death, the bonds that bind cells in complex multicellular organisms might never have evolved.

People are motivated by psychological, social, financial, even biological and evolutionary factors, all of which could interact with one another in interesting ways.

There can be praise and exultation and even awe for the hero, as well as the vicarious pleasure of imagining oneself in the hero's role. It's interesting, though, that this seems to be a milder pleasure than comeuppance, perhaps because there isn't the same evolutionary need for us to scrutinize and praise and take delight in goodness as there is for us to focus on the bad.

n the wake of catastrophes, fungal diversity helps restore devastated habitats. Evolutionary trends generally lead to increased bio-diversity. However, due to human activities we are losing many species before we can even identify them. In effect, as we lose species, we are experiencing devolution--turning back the clock on biodiversity, which is a slippery slope toward massive ecological collapse. The interconnectedness of life is an obvious truth that we ignore at our peril.

a) early attachment experiences may well be key moderators of the expression of individual genotype, and (b) the primary evolutionary function of attachment may indeed be the contribution it makes to the ontogenetic creation of a mental mechanism that could serve to moderate psychosocial experiences relevant for gene expression.
