Robert Smith Quotes

If you watch animals objectively for any length of time, you're driven to the conclusion that their main aim in life is to pass on their genes to the next generation.

For me, the meaning of life is pretty clear: Living things strive to pass their genes into the future.

I'm here as a product of process of evolution, which doesn't make very many exceptions. And which rates life relatively cheaply.

We adore babies because they're so cute. And, of course, we are amused by jokes because they are funny. This is all backwards. It is. And Darwin shows us why.

Action leads to Attention. that in the short-term releases Rewarding brain chemicals and in the long term improves reproductive success.

Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn't create.

New gene pools are generated in every generation, and evolution takes place because the successful individuals produced by these gene pools give rise to the next generation.

Above all, TRIBES is fun, and even kind of sexy... in that every round features an Opportunity for Reproduction, which is the main aim of the game, as it is in most of Nature.

In accord with Nature’s Laws, nothing is more right than the preservation of one’s own race.

I have always had this basic biological question in terms of evolution, if the drive to evolution is to like survive. An organism that survives well, there is really no need for consciousness in there.

They are in you and me; they created us, body and mind; and their preservation is the ultimate rationale for our existence. They have come a long way, those replicators. Now they go by the name of genes, and we are their survival machines.

Man selects only for his own good: Nature only for that of the being which she tends.

In the process of natural selection, then, any device that can insert a higher proportion of certain genes into subsequent generations will come to characterize the species.

My roots, in college, were in behavior in the context of evolution.

The fuel for evolution is diversity, with natural selection leading to continuous adaptations and improvements in Nature's handiwork.

Just like mutations to DNA in biological organisms allow for evolution through natural selection, forking lets us run multiple experiments in parallel where the strongest versions survive.

Our physiological constitution is obviously a product of Darwinian processes, insofar as you buy the evolutional theory as a generative, as an account of the mechanism that generated us. Our physiology evolved, our behaviors evolved, and our accounts of those behaviors, both successful and unsuccessful, evolved.

The biological world always seems poised to innovate.

Evolution doesn't just look for things that are fun; if it did, we'd know how to fly.

Your creatures can come into being only, like shoot from stem, as part of an endlessly renewed process of evolution.

The men in my family are strong because the women in my family kill and eat the weak ones.

A stronger race will drive out the weaker ones, for the vital urge in its ultimate form will break down the absurd barriers of the so called humanity of individuals to make way for the humanity of nature which destroys the weak to give their place to the strong.

We can't help it. Life looks for life.

The sacrifice of personal existence is necessary to secure the preservation of the species.

Most species do their own evolving, making it up as they go along, which is the way Nature intended.
