"Biology is the science. Evolution is the concept that makes biology unique." ― Jared Diamond Topic(s): Science More From Jared Diamond "Technology causes problems as well as solves problems. Nobody has figured out a way to ensure that, as of tomorrow, technology won’t create problems. Technology simply means increased power, which is why we have the global problems we face today." "Tasmanian history is a study of human isolation unprecedented except in science fiction – namely, complete isolation from other humans for 10,000 years." "The southward advance of native African farmers with Central African crops halted in Natal, beyond which Central African crops couldn’t grow – with enormous consequences for the recent history of South Africa."

The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon."― Liberty Hyde Bailey "The difference between Socrates and Jesus? The great conscious and the immeasurably great unconscious."― Thomas Carlyle "I could write historical fiction, or science fiction, or a mystery but since I find it fascinating to research the clues of some little know period and develop a story based on that, I will probably continue to do it."― Jean M. Auel
