Donald Johanson Quotes

Most Achievers I Know Are People Who Have Made A Strong And Deep Dedication to Pursuing A Particular Goal. That Dedication Took A Tremendous Amount Of Effort Picture Quote #1
What’s changed is we now have good anatomical, geological, archaeological evidence that Neanderthals are not our ancestors. When I wrote ‘Lucy,’ I considered Neanderthals ancestors of modern humans. We have gone back twice the age of Lucy, six million years. And we see that upright bipedal walking goes back that far in time Picture Quote #1
Evolution is a fact. It is the best explanation of what is known from observations. It’s a theory as powerful as the theory of gravity Picture Quote #1
I was being groomed as an undergraduate to specialize in Midwestern prehistory, but going back to my teenage days, my interest has always been in our early human ancestors. I wanted to work in Africa Picture Quote #1
This was the most important discovery I had ever made in my life. It was a discovery which has irrevocably changed my whole life’s direction. It immediately elevated me to the status of one of the world’s leading anthropologists Picture Quote #1
There have been some friendships lost over this. That’s the most difficult for me. I find it very uncomfortable to know that I was at one time close friends with someone, and because of jealousies and misunderstandings and so on, these friendships have dissolved Picture Quote #1

It’s very hard for all of us, when we’ve committed ourselves to a particular interpretation, to change our minds Picture Quote #1
All mammals undergo a certain degree of diversification. Darwin knew that. When he drew a family tree, it had many branches on it Picture Quote #1
Where we are going as a species is a big question. Human evolution certainly hasn’t stopped. Every time individuals produce a new zygote, there’s a reshuffling and recombination of genes. And we don’t know where all of that is going to take us Picture Quote #1
Commitment, belief and positive attitude are all important if you’re going to be a success, whether you’re in sports, in business or, as in my case, anthropology Picture Quote #1
Journalists often ask me when I go to the field, ‘What do you expect to find?’ And my answer always is, ‘The unexpected,’ because we’re just looking at the tip of the iceberg; we’ve just scratched the surface Picture Quote #1
Evolution explains our biological evolution, but human beings are very unique creatures. As the Dobzhansky said, all animals are unique; humans are the uniquest. And that uniqueness of being human, language, art, culture, our dependency on culture for survival, comes from the combination of traditional biological evolution Picture Quote #1

My real father died when I was two years old, so I never knew him. He was a barber in Chicago Picture Quote #1
In our case, finding a Lucy is unique. No one will ever find another Lucy. You can’t order one from a biological supply house. It’s a unique discovery, a unique specimen Picture Quote #1
When the first fossils began to be found in eastern Africa, in the late 1950s, I thought, what a wonderful marriage this was, biology and anthropology. I was around 16 years old when I made this particular choice of academic pursuit Picture Quote #1
One has to take initiative in life to achieve what he or she wants Picture Quote #1
Scientists are very afraid of being proven wrong Picture Quote #1
And what I wanted to do was, I wanted to explore problems and areas where we didn’t have answers. In fact, where we didn’t even know the right questions to ask Picture Quote #1

This was the most important discovery I had ever made in my life. It was a discovery which has irrevocably changed my whole life’s direction. It immediately elevated me to the status of one of the world’s leading anthropologists Picture Quote #1
I realized immediately that this was a terribly important discovery, but I didn’t realize how important it would be until we had spent a lot of time in the laboratory studying it Picture Quote #1
Commitment, belief and positive attitude are all important if you’re going to be a success, whether you’re in sports, in business or, as in my case, anthropology Picture Quote #1

One has to devote oneself to a particular pursuit. To be successful at anything, you have to make a total commitment to it Picture Quote #1
Normally, we are happy to find a fragment of jaw, a few isolated teeth, a bit of an arm, a bit of a skull. But to find associated body parts is extremely rare Picture Quote #1

Lucy brought with her an image of our human ancestors that you don’t get when you find a jaw or an arm bone or a leg bone. Here was 40 percent of a single skeleton Picture Quote #1
