Quotes:

“The malleability of life”

It is sobering to contemplate the malleability of life. It only takes five generations to turn a population of mild-mannered chickens into a population of psychopaths. If we don’t manage evolutionary processes, they will very likely take us where we don’t want to go.

David Sloan Wilson, 2019 from the interview “This View of Life: Completing the Darwinian Revolution”
