Natural Selection Quotes

Natural Selection never made it come to pass, as a habit of nature, that an unsupported stone should move downwards rather than upwards. It applies to no part of inorganic nature, and is very limited even in the phenomena of organic life Picture Quote #1

To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree Picture Quote #1

Natural selection certainly operates. It explains how bacteria will gain antibiotic resistance; it will explain how insects get insecticide resistance, but it doesn’t explain how you get bacteria or insects in the first place Picture Quote #1

The essence of Darwinism lies in its claim that natural selection creates the fit. Variation is ubiquitous and random in direction. It supplies raw material only. Natural selection directs the course of evolutionary change Picture Quote #1

This preservation of favourable variations and the destruction of injurious variations, I call Natural Selection, or the Survival of the Fittest. Variations neither useful nor injurious would not be affected by natural selection and would be left a fluctuating element Picture Quote #1

Life on Earth is not the result of a series of miracles performed by a supernatural god-creator, and it is definitely not a product of matter having a mind of its own, of an equally miraculous evolutionary process supervised by Lady Natural Selection who would turn rabbits into lions Picture Quote #1

Natural selection is not evolution Picture Quote #1

Mutation is random; natural selection is the very opposite of random Picture Quote #1

Natural selection is a mechanism for generating an exceedingly high degree of improbability Picture Quote #1

Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn’t create Picture Quote #1

Darwin’s idea of natural selection makes people uncomfortable because it reverses the direction of tradition Picture Quote #1

Blindness to suffering is an inherent consequence of natural selection. Nature is neither kind nor cruel but indifferent Picture Quote #1

... by natural selection our mind has adapted itself to the conditions of the external world. It has adopted the geometry most advantageous to the species or, in other words, the most convenient. Geometry is not true, it is advantageous Picture Quote #1

Design in nature is but a concatenation of accidents, culled by natural selection until the result is so beautiful or effective as to seem a miracle of purpose Picture Quote #1

Every cell is a triumph of natural selection, and we’re made of trillions of cells. Within us, is a little universe Picture Quote #1

Natural selection is not the only process that changes organisms over time. But is the only process that seemingly designs organisms over time Picture Quote #1

We should learn to understand natural selection, so that we can oppose any tendency to apply it to human politics Picture Quote #1

Ethics, like natural selection, make existence possible. Aesthetics, like sensual selection, make life lovely and wonderful, fill it with new forms, and give it progress, and variety and change Picture Quote #1

Natural selection is not gene centrist and nor is biology all about genes; our comprehending minds are a result of our fast evolving culture Picture Quote #1

Why do people believe that there are dangerous implications of the idea that the mind is a product of the brain, that the brain is organized in part by the genome, and that the genome was shaped by natural selection? Picture Quote #1

The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity Picture Quote #1

To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I confess, absurd in the highest degree... The difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, should not be considered subversive of the theory Picture Quote #1

If the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection depends on death, destruction, and violence of the strong against the weak, then these things are perfectly natural. On what basis, then, does the atheist judge the natural world to be horribly wrong, unfair, and unjust? Picture Quote #1

I think it inevitably follows, that as new species in the course of time are formed through natural selection, others will become rarer and rarer, and finally extinct. The forms which stand in closest competition with those undergoing modification and improvement will naturally suffer most Picture Quote #1

Every human mind you’ve ever looked at... Is a product not just of natural selection but of cultural redesign of enormous proportions Picture Quote #1

If I want to keep making films for a few more years, I probably should be willing to adapt. I’ve sort of evolved into the filmmaker that I am because of natural selection anyway Picture Quote #1

The man that created the theory of evolution by natural selection was thrown out by his Dad because he wanted him to be a doctor. GAWD, parents haven’t changed much Picture Quote #1

I am quite sure that our views on evolution would be very different had biologists studied genetics and natural selection before and not after most of them were convinced that evolution had occurred Picture Quote #1

Today Charles Darwin is best known for establishing the fact of evolution and for recognizing the major role of natural selection in driving it Picture Quote #1
