Without death there would be no awareness of life, and the recurring selection and renewal that has caused life’s progress would be ended Picture Quote #1

In high school, I worked at The Video Room in Oakland, California. It had the largest selection of laser discs in the Bay Area. One guy owned all of them Picture Quote #1

I remember when Circuit City was around, I never understood why people would shop there. I always thought Best Buy had a better selection and cheaper prices Picture Quote #1

The big picture, I think, is that common ancestry is evidentially prior to natural selection in Darwin’s theory and in contemporary evolutionary biology as well Picture Quote #1

If artificial selection can make such major changes in so short a period of time, what must natural selection, working over billions of years, be capable of? The answer is all the beauty and diversity of the biological world. Evolution is a fact, not a theory. That the mechanism of evolution Picture Quote #1

I’m living two blocks away from this library - and I don’t know why I was so elated about this - but I’m in my mesh jogging shorts in the elevator and I saw that my book ‘Swamplandia!’ was their book club selection. And I was over the moon Picture Quote #1

Jury selection is strictly an emotional process. They’re looking for people they can manipulate. Both sides are Picture Quote #1

...we must be wary of granting too much power to natural selection by viewing all basic capacities of our brain as direct adaptations Picture Quote #1

What we do is we test what works on Wall Street. And sometimes it is earnings momentum, and sometimes it’s earnings surprises. Sometimes it’s price-to-sales cash flow, and then we put together our stock selection models Picture Quote #1

I did a 20-minute selection of scenes from the play ‘Spring Awakening’ in college, well before the musical came around, so when the musical was becoming a hot thing, and I was reading interviews with Duncan Sheik about how he came to do the music, I think it’s interesting Picture Quote #1
