Lynn Margulis Quotes

People say I am against Darwin. That is ridiculous Picture Quote #1

My work more than didn’t fit in. It crossed willy-nilly the boundaries that people had spent their lives building up. It hits some 30 subfields of biology, even geology Picture Quote #1

Life on earth is such a good story you cannot afford to miss the beginning... Beneath our superficial differences we are all of us walking communities of bacteria. The world shimmers, a pointillist landscape made of tiny living beings Picture Quote #1

I was taught over and over again that the accumulation of random mutations led to evolutionary change - led to new species. I believed it until I looked for evidence Picture Quote #1

Life on earth is more like a verb. It repairs, maintains, re-creates, and outdoes itself Picture Quote #1

Politicians need a better understanding of global ecology. We need to be freed from our species-specific arrogance. No evidence exists that we are chosen, the unique species for which all the others were made. Nor are we the most important one because we are so numerous, powerful and dangerous Picture Quote #1

Life learned early on to recognize itself Picture Quote #1

Body concentrates order. It continuously self-repairs. Every five days you get a new stomach lining. You get a new liver every two months. Your skin replaces itself every six weeks. Every year, 98 percent of the atoms of your body are replaced. This non-stop chemical replacement, metabolism, is a sure sign of life Picture Quote #1

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

All I ask is that we compare human consciousness with spirochete ecology Picture Quote #1

Although random mutations influenced the course of evolution, their influence was mainly by loss, alteration, and refinement... Never, however, did that one mutation make a wing, a fruit, a woody stem, or a claw appear. Mutations, in summary, tend to induce sickness, death, or deficiencies. No evidence in the vast literature of heredity changes shows unambiguous evidence that random mutation itself, even with geographical isolation of populations, leads to speciation Picture Quote #1

Although the detail of our sexual energies and their objects and objectives vastly vary, the existence of our sexuality itself is an undeniable truth Picture Quote #1

The fewer species there are and the fewer species we know about, the fewer questions we even know to ask Picture Quote #1

Everybody knows what a caterpillar is, and it doesn’t look anything like a butterfly Picture Quote #1

The urgency to mate persists in all people as in all other mammals because of the evolutionary drive to continue the species, the inborn imperative for genes to reproduce and hormonal differences that evolved over millions of years Picture Quote #1

Why does everybody agree that atmospheric oxygen comes from life, but no one speaks about the other gases coming from life? Picture Quote #1

People think the earth is going to die and they have to save it. Thats ridiculous. If you rid the earth of flowering plants, people would die, period. But the earth was without flowering plants for almost all of its history Picture Quote #1

The accumulation of genetic mutations were touted to be enough to change one species to another….No. It wasn’t dishonesty. I think it was wish fulfillment and social momentum. Assumptions, made but not verified, were taught as fact Picture Quote #1
