Ancestors Quotes

It has been said that a man of genius should select his ancestors with great care - and yet there does not seem to be as much in heredity as most people think. The children of the great are often small 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

One of the great things about African-Americans is that we’ve always had this attitude: We make do with what we got. It comes from our ancestors being slaves Picture Quote #1

A new species does not evolve in the area of its ancestors; it does not arise from the slow transformation of all its forbears. co-author with Niles Eldridge Picture Quote #1

Our religion is the traditions of our ancestors - the dreams of our old men, given them in solemn hours of the night by the Great Spirit; and the visions of our sachems, and is written in the hearts of our people Picture Quote #1

She herself is a haunted house. She does not possess herself; her ancestors sometimes come and peer out of the windows of her eyes and that is very frightening. from The Lady of the Haunted House Picture Quote #1
